Post 16
For many young people with SEND, changes and going to new places can be challenging, so it’s important to start planning as early as possible. There are lots of strategies, techniques and support that can be given to help children and young people with SEND transition in to their new environments.
Young people should be supported to take part in discussions about their future, their needs, and the support that they think they will need. Support should be aimed at promoting student independence and enabling the young person to make good progress towards employment and/or higher education, independent living, good health and participating in the community.
If you have an EHCP, take a look at our Annual Review page and Transitions with an EHCP
See the Department for Education's video on Post 16 Transition:
