3.	PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FAIR ACCESS PROTOCOLS 2018/19 PDF 162 KB Share this item Each local authority must have a Fair Access Protocol in place and all schools in a local authority area must participate in it. A Fair Access Protocol ensures that unplaced children, especially the most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school in their home local authority as quickly as possible. This includes admitting children above the published admission number to schools that are already full. The proposed Protocols set out the criteria that the local authority will use to determine which children will be placed under Surrey’s Fair Access Protocol in 2018/19 and how cases will be considered. The changes proposed to the Protocols for 2018/19 take into account comments received from schools, Secondary Phase Council and Surrey County Council (SCC) officers.
