Consultation process

Independent special institutions need to complete a 3 stage process of application. Each criterion must be met and all 3 stages of the application process successfully completed before ESFA will consider entering an independent special institution onto the list.

The 3 stages are:

  • stage 1 – specialism and background information
  • stage 2 – quality of provision
  • stage 3 – financial health assessment

In addition to the formal stage with the ESFA, LFT will consult with other interested parties.
