## Description

Working with the DfE Preparing for Adulthood team & school and college leaders, ECC have developed The Inclusion Framework \(TIF\): Lives without Labels, an all-encompassing approach to inclusion & preparing for adulthood for all Children & Young People\. The aim of TIF is to support young people, professionals & families to identify & remove barriers to education, preparation for adult life & pathways into employment and enterprise\. The Authority are seeking a digital solution to support the management of TIF approach\. This is built on an 'assess, plan, do, review' process, which enables young people, professionals \(particularly school & local authority staff\) & families to: Assess individuals, groups &/or cohorts of children/young people against TIF outcomes matrix to identify barriers, areas of strength & opportunity\. Identify relevant guidance & resources, based on assessment results\. Collaboratively \(e\.g\. with parents/carers, ECC, between professionals\) develop creative, timely approaches & action plans to address the needs identified through TIF\. Track & monitor progress\. Identify trends across groups &/or cohorts\. Incorporate information from the above process into referrals to statutory services if they are necessary & appropriate ECC's ambition is for change, we are looking at digital partnerships with future suppliers, & are open to exploring the market to identify technology providers who may or /may not currently be active in the education software market but who do have both the capability & desire to work alongside a local authority as a system development partner\.
