Junction 16 and Respect have always prided themselves in providing an efficient commissioning process, in order to offer your students an extensive range of Alternative Provision within Derby City. We use procurement processes and systems to commission, ensuring consistent and robust, contractual agreements with any alternative provider who is successful in gaining a place on our Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) TD2205.

Junction 16 have complemented this service by providing in depth, regular Quality Assurance (QA) checks for any provider that may be commissioned, to ensure they are compliant with Ofsted guidelines for AP and continuing to offer quality alternative education, throughout the entirety of any placement. We have two fantastic AP Officers who oversee this QA and also provide a personalised service to each individual student, family and school that refer in through Junction 16.

Anyone referring through Junction 16 can always be reassured that we hold all essential records and checks on your behalf, covering both school based and non-school based AP – there is no need to duplicate these and we can even speak to Ofsted should you need us to.
