What is tailored education?.

What does tailored education mean?

Tailored education means that every child gets education that fits what they need. Many children have enough with the regular support at school. Does your child need more help? Then the school will look with you at what is needed.

Schools must ensure a suitable place for every child. This is called duty of care. Can the school not provide the right help itself? Then the school will consult with you to look for help within the school or a place that can offer that. For example at another school or at special primary education or special education.

What support can a school offer?

• Basic support

Every school offers basic support. This is the support that is present by default. Think of extra explanation, tools for dyslexia or guidance with task and work behavior. What exactly falls under basic support can be found in the school guide.

• Extra support

Sometimes basic support is not enough. Then the school can arrange extra support. The school then makes a plan together with you (and your child). What does your child need? And how can the school arrange that? That plan is called a development perspective plan. Which extra support is possible can be found in the school guide.

• Involve the partnership tailored education

Can the school not arrange the extra support itself or is the extra support not enough? Then they involve the partnership tailored education: this is a group of schools in the region that together ensure every child gets tailored education.

The partnership tailored education helps with arranging extra support at school. Look here which partnership tailored education belongs to your school.

• Transfer to special primary education or special education

Sometimes, after (extra) support at school or help from the partnership tailored education, it still does not work. Maybe your child fits better at special primary education or special education. The current school then requests a declaration of admissibility from the partnership tailored education. They assess whether your child indeed fits better at another school.
