Fair access protocol
Havering’s Fair Access Protocols (FAP) is required by the School Admission Code 2021. The purpose of a FAP is to ensure that vulnerable children, and those who are having difficulty in securing a school place in-year, are allocated a school place as quickly as possible, minimising the time the child is out of school.
This protocol applies equally to all schools and academies and reflects the Fair Access Protocol guidance issued by the Department for Education (DfE) in August 2021.
