Hayley Leyshon — Leadership & Inclusion

For alternative provision

What do we do? Why do we do it? How do we know it works?

Helping providers develop high-quality, evidence-informed provision and demonstrate the difference it makes.

A structured look at leadership, provision and impact

What is genuinely strong, what needs developing, and what you can evidence to commissioners.

Leadership

Whether the vision, systems and capacity underneath the provision can sustain what you are trying to do, including commissioning, partnerships and how improvement is driven.

Provision

What children actually experience day to day, and whether it is individualised, safe and purposeful: curriculum, therapeutic and relational approaches, behaviour, safeguarding, SEND, assessment and reintegration.

Impact & outcomes

Provision should evidence more than attendance. Frameworks that measure what actually changes, from engagement and regulation to independence, confidence and reintegration readiness.

What this can produce

Practical artefacts you can hand to a commissioner, not just a set of recommendations.

  • Baseline assessments and developmental descriptors
  • Progress measures beyond attendance
  • Referral criteria and documentation
  • Intervention planning and impact dashboards
  • Commissioner reporting and case studies
  • Quality assurance systems

Designing something new, or reshaping what exists

Building provision from the ground up, or giving provision that grew organically a clearer model underneath it.

  • Designing new provision
  • Feasibility and needs analysis
  • Referral criteria
  • Intervention models
  • Staffing structures
  • Curriculum development
  • Assessment frameworks
  • Policies and procedures
  • School engagement
  • Commissioner-facing documentation

Let's talk about your provision.
