What’s new?
• Dentdale: A £600,000 purpose built independent living facility. Will be completed by June 2013. Operational Sept 2013. This facility half funded by ABC, half by grant.
• New study programme funding gives more flexibility to design programmes around learners (section 139a pivotal to provision and funding)
• Bespoke and transition packages open college programmes to non-standard applications / attendance patterns.– In negotiation with the learners lead provider.

Opportunities Presented
• Dentdale will provide enhanced opportunities for ABC curriculum (see the rest of this presentation)– BUT ABC will not register with the CQC. ABCs own residential use
is covered by OFSTED care standards• Dentdale will be made available to partner organisations for
their own delivery– Facilities will be made available for any appropriate organisation
to provide a “learning experience”.– If these parties seek to use Dentdale to provide a residential
experience that includes personal care / nursing they will need to be registered with the CQC or be a residential college.
– Pricing, availability and T&Cs to be confirmed.

Independence in Living
• Objective: Develop independent living skills• Outcome: Independent or Sheltered Living, Social and
Community Skills.• Can be combined with other streams as appropriate to the
individual.• Bespoke packages can be created based on learner need
(including multiple days)• Likely to be mixed ability groups, flexible attendance day• Support tailored to individual dependant on 139a and funding• Developing learners capabilities over time including some
“away from home” living experience (over night)
Independence in Work• Objective: Develop an understanding of and experience of
employment.• Outcome: Eventual Employment (supported or independent)• Can be combined with other streams as appropriate to the individual.• Bespoke packages can be created based on learner need (including
multiple days) (dependent on 139a and funding)• Likely to be mixed ability groups, flexible attendance day• A variety of sheltered / supported work experience facilitated
through Dentdale. Examples of the type of experiences being considered / developed:– Recycling, Repurposing, Up-Cycling, Reclamation (House / office clearance
etc)– Gardening Services (Landscaping, Conservation)– Domestic Services (Cleaning and Catering)– Packing / product assembly and marketing / customer services– Other (offsite) options to suit individual need may be possible
Independence in Vocation &Independence in Study
• Objective: Academic and Vocational Progression• Outcome: Access higher level learning programmes.• Both must be done to facilitate progression to higher
level course. Formal qualifications are key to progression. • Also fulfils the new ‘study programme’ requirements.
Hence a government expectation.• Either can be done stand alone or as part of a bespoke
package (depends on 139a and funding)• Delivery tailored for ‘spikey profiles’ this will impact on
the actual day of attendance.
Case Studies: What can be done?
• Learners seeking a transition to post school provision– Learner remains with current institution. Funding disaggregated to
college. Learner joins college 1-4 days per week as negotiated.• 16-24 Learners on individualised learning programmes
– Learner with lead institution (which could be the college). Funding disaggregated to college. Bespoke programme which could include attendance with college as above.
• 16-24 learners seeking full time provision– Learner with college. Attends 3 or 4 days per week based on need
identified in 139a. Must attend vocational and study elements.• 16-24 learners seeking part time provision
– Learner with college at least 2 days per week (but this is dependant on need).
