Interim Tuition Process for CATE Placements

In cases where a student is eligible for a CATE placement but spaces are currently unavailable, the following interim tuition pathway will apply:

1. A medical professional refers the student to CATE.
2. CATE informs both the medical professional and the Local Authority of limited availability or places the student on a waiting list.
3. The medical professional refers the student to the Local Authority for interim medical tuition.
4. CATE notifies the medical professional and the Local Authority when a space becomes available.
5. The Local Authority transitions the student from medical tuition to a CATE placement.
