Tailored consultancy for Alternative Provisions (APs)
Supporting neurodivergent learners in AP settings presents unique challenges that require specialist expertise.
AET Consultancy for Alternative Provisions is designed specifically to help APs create environments where every learner can thrive.
We understand that many alternative settings face gaps in specialist SEND knowledge, inconsistent or outdated support strategies, and limited resources.
Our team of expert consultants provide tailored guidance to overcome these obstacles, helping staff and leadership teams develop effective, inclusive practices.
Whether it's implementing a cohesive SEND strategy, improving staff confidence, or ensuring compliance with national standards, our consultancy gives you the expertise and tools to meet the diverse needs of your students.
With years of experience working across educational settings, our Consultancy for APs provides actionable, cost-effective solutions that create long-term impact.
We work closely with your leadership teams to help:
- Build staff expertise in SEND with targeted training and support
- Develop consistent, whole-setting strategies that improve student outcomes and wellbeing
- Address complex support needs with research-backed approaches
- Navigate funding constraints while enhancing the quality of SEND provision
