Fair Access Protocol : Each local authority has a Fair Access Protocol . All the maintained schools and the Academy participate in the protocol in order to ensure that unplaced children , who live in the home local authority , are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible . This is in effect a safety net used when the normal procedures for in-year admission have not led to an offer . The Protocol can be found on the website .
