    Brief

    Respect Collaboration Trust (RCT) seeks a qualified provider to deliver alternative education programs using equine services for school-age children who have been excluded or suspended from mainstream schooling. RCT has a statutory obligation to ensure all children of compulsory school age receive suitable education when unable to attend traditional schools. The provider will design and implement equine-based learning activities that support educational outcomes, personal development, and reintegration for vulnerable young people. Services should be delivered to meet curriculum standards while leveraging equine engagement as a therapeutic and educational tool. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in alternative education, youth support, and equine activity management.
