This guidance is intended to raise awareness of the issues relating to gifted and talented children in care. It invites responses from schools and settings to contribute to the developing body of knowledge, understanding and effective practice in relation to these issues.

It is hoped that this guidance signposts opportunities for collaboration across children’s services to enable schools, colleges and settings to develop a coherent and well-resourced approach to meeting the needs of this group of pupils.

This guidance reflects the organisation of the Institutional Quality Standards (IQS) so that the five main headings match the five components of personalised learning. Under each of these headings guidance is provided to help schools, colleges and settings to address the elements found in the IQS framework.
