No, but we do escalate in order to take more formal action to ensure the child is receiving a suitable education when concerns arise.

No, but we do escalate to senior managers in order to take more formal action (eg school attendance orders etc) to ensure the child is receiving a suitable education when evidence has not been provided.

7. What was your EHE cohort on 01/06/2021?
1,726
8. Of the figure given in question 7,
(a) how many appeared to be receiving a suitable education?
(b) how many appeared to be receiving an unsuitable education?
(c) how many were yet to be assessed or going through assessment?
As this is historic data and not for children whose education provision we currently believe is a concern, Devon County Council believes compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. This is because we do not hold a centralised record of this data, and it would require a manual check of each record
