Healthcare Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin (OAIP)

Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision is the new name for ‘ordinarily available provision’ and is sometimes shortened to OAIP. The term ‘ordinarily available provision’ comes from the SEND Code of Practice and refers to the support that mainstream schools and settings should be able to provide for a child or young person through their agreed funding and resource arrangements.

Healthcare services are an important part of inclusive provision for children and young people with SEND. Healthcare services work across universal, targeted and specialist services. There are many healthcare services that can advise and support children and young people without the need for referral to specialist services.

The document sets out the support that schools and settings can put in place to address health needs and indicates the support available from health services at universal, targeted and specialist levels. It should be read alongside Shropshire Council and Telford & Wrekin Council’s Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision Guidance.
