The Cost of Inaction (The "Crisis" Comparison)

If these 4 pupils continue to disengage and eventually require a specialized Alternative Provision (AP) or a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) placement:

 Scenario per pupil | Weekly Cost | Annual Cost 

               Mainstream School |        £150       | £6,000                       

                    TrueBase Intervention |        £330       | £13,200 If annualized       

                    Independent AP Placement |        £850       | £34,000                                      

 Specialist Residential / Crisis |      £2,500+    | £100,000+                       

This model provides high-impact early intervention at a fraction of the cost of exclusion or alternative provision.
