The DfE has updated the guidance for education settings and local authorities about children supported through social care, with EHC plans or identified as vulnerable by their school or local authority. The update reflects the wider plans for more year groups to return to education settings, stating that vulnerable children and young people remain a priority, and are expected to attend if appropriate. This includes young people at risk of becoming NEET, who are expected to attend educational provision where it is appropriate for them to do so and should remain a priority for educational providers and local authorities.
