Bradford Education Access Team

The Education Access Team offer a service to families who are new to the Bradford district who may need additional support to secure initial access to education. Alongside supporting the family to secure initial access to education, we offer support, advice and signposting based on the family’s wider support needs. We have a team of 3 Senior Education Access Officers and 7 Education Access Officer ‘s dedicated to offering support to families which may be through ad hoc support, advice and signposting or case work. Some of our staff have additional languages including Slovak, Polish and Czech but we can access almost any language through our partner, Enable2.

Alongside supporting the family to secure initial access to education, we offer support, advice and signposting based on the family’s wider support needs.

Referrals can be made by professionals or families themselves. Professionals can refer for support and signposting for families new to Bradford by submitting the Education Access referral form securely to education.access@bradford.gov.uk. The referral form should be accompanied by the ‘Consent to sharing information’ document that has been understood and signed by parent and young person (if applicable).
