Help on Leaving School for Children with SEN

Next steps for children with SEN


People whose brains process information differently have a great deal to offer the corporate world, if that world understands how to accept it.
Once young people reach the age of 16, all children including those with special educational needs can choose to stay in full-time education at their current school (if it has a sixth form), or move to a sixth-form college or a college of further education (FE). Alternatively they can find a job with training, or do a work-based learning course. What they choose to do will depend on their chosen career path, and their interests, skills and abilities.

There are lots of different routes into education, training and employment and there is no right or wrong way to go about it. On top of choosing what course they are interested in and organising appropriate support for their needs, there are many issues that young people and their parents or carers will need to work through.

Preparing to your child for leaving school


If your child has a statement of special educational needs you will be invited to a transition review during your child’s year 9. A representative from Connexions will also be invited, as will your child’s social worker if they have one. This starts the transition process which involves having a review every year to look at the plan for the future and assess how the young person’s needs may have changed.

There will be opportunities to discuss options with advisers, teachers and parents, and make visits to potential educational institutions before making a final decision. Wherever the young person chooses to continue their education or training, a full report explaining their support needs to the new institution will ensure as smooth a transition as possible.

SEN rights and responsibilities


Students with disabilities have a legal right not to be discriminated against at college or university, or in the work place. In September 2002, the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Part 4: Education came into force. Under the law, educational institutions are required to make ‘reasonable’ adjustments for disabled students. The law covers not only the provision of courses, but also admissions and ‘student services’ such as catering, counselling services and field trips.

The Disability Rights Commission works towards a society where all disabled people can participate fully as equal citizens. It can inform you about your rights under the The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) as a disabled person. Several organisations, such as RADAR and Skill - National Bureau for Students with Disabilities , also offer advice.

The world of work


The success of individuals with specific learning difficulties in the world of work is very variable. Often, this bears little relation to actual ability, but is dependent on the environment they work in. People whose brains process information differently...
