Our chosen Eotas provider not on council approved suppliers

We have two daughters who have EHCPs with EOTAS agreed. Good news.

We are wanting to use an online school for both girls. The council say the online provider is not on their supplier list and would have to go through their procurement processes. The council state we cannot request personal budget to use it for the school fees. And that we need to wait for the school to apply to the council and for the council to approve the provider.

The council's recommended provider for our eldest who is due to start a levels is a private tutoring firm who do not do A levels.

Both girls have been out of school since October and we are keen to start with the online provider by the start of the new academic year in September.

Any suggestions advice warmly appreciated!
