Ethical Training and Consultancy

Brin Martin, Senior Adviser in West Sussex Children's and Young Peoples Service and Ian Draper of Ethical Training and Consultancy have jointly developed an electronic tool that will allow schools, through their Local Authorities, to monitor the impact and sustainability of the schools' PPA provision.

The PPA monitoring tool has a number of benefits for schools, governing bodies and local authorities:

•	The functional tool takes a school through a step by step process that allows them to input information based upon the third year of the National Agreement.
•	The tool covers detailed, quantitative and qualitative measures such as the impact upon standards, the financial costs of the preferred provision and lesson observation learning data by category of staff, statutory requirements and other indicators such as staff wellbeing.
•	Completion of the process is simple, should take no more than 30 minutes and can be saved during the process for completion at a later time (there is a progress indicator to locate how far you have progressed through the tool).
•	The tool allows schools to save and then edit the report, in MS Word, for example, producing a detailed, formal two-page report.
•	Headteachers can use it to report on an annual basis to the governing body, to be included in the SEF, or as evidence of impact and sustainability for the National Agreement requirements.
•	The tool allows Local Authorities the facility for schools to e-mail the report directly to their nominated officer to compile evidence of deployment at authority level.
