It is not necessary to send in a Baseline Review but a useful first step for schools intending to submit an Award application is to fill in a Baseline Review. It also provides a way for you to create an action plan for ongoing work, and keep a record of how your provision is developing.
The Baseline Review allows you to highlight which areas of your school’s young carer provision is ‘Green: Already in place’; ‘Amber: Partially in place/Some work needed’; or ‘Red: Not yet in place’. (A RAG review).
