EOTAS proposals
Assess why education otherwise than at school is being considered.
Education must fit the circumstances.
We help you understand the decision, the evidence and the steps that may be available. The right approach depends on the particular facts and procedure.
EOTASHome-based packagesAlternative provision
Where we can help.
Each matter has its own facts. These are the questions we can help you assess and address.
Package design
Examine teaching, therapy, social opportunities and coordination.
Alternative provision
Review interim arrangements while a long-term plan is resolved.
Implementation
Track whether the agreed package is delivered in practice.
Where it starts
Does this sound familiar?
Early advice can help identify the immediate issue and protect the available options.
School attendance is not working
The learner cannot currently access the named setting.
An interim offer is inadequate
Very little education is reaching the child.
A home-based package is proposed
The contents and coordination need careful definition.
Our approachStart with the facts.
Start with the facts.
Find the strongest point.
We focus on the learner’s needs, the evidence about attendance and the detail of the proposed package. A label alone does not describe what education will be delivered.
Useful documents to send
- EHCP and attendance history
- Professional views on suitability
- Details of education offered

Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Is EOTAS the same as home education?
No. The arrangements and responsibilities can differ. The proposed provision and legal route must be identified.
Can alternative provision be temporary?
It may be used while a longer-term issue is resolved. Its suitability still needs assessment.
What should I send first?
Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.
