Preparing for Adulthood Education
We have designed this guidance for all young people who have an Education, Health and Care Plan who live in Telford & Wrekin to help them plan their Post 16 transition and consider their future career prospects. On this page you will find information about educational settings in our local area and an explanation of how young people can express a preference for the setting they wish to attend.
The stages in the process include:
• Young people /parents attend an EHC Plan Annual Review meeting to discuss Post 16 options.
• Opportunities to attend open days and apply to colleges.
• Completion of a preference form to let us know your wishes and consult with providers.
• A draft EHC Plan with the proposed placement is prepared.
• A final EHC Plan that identifies the allocated placement is issued.
Most young people who have an EHC Plan attend local Post 16 placements where their needs are met successfully.
Students will also be able to request information and support from the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) at their current placement, the school’s careers advisor and, if available, the student’s Future Focus Advisor.
