Transition Planning
If your child has a statement of special educational needs, the annual review
in year 9 is particularly important in preparing for their move to further
education and adult life. This review can involve all those people and
organisations who will play a major role when your child leaves school. This
will include the Connexions Service and could also include your local social
services department.
This review will not only consider your child’s targets and statement but also
discuss a Transition Plan for your child’s move to adult life. It is likely
that your child will work with a Connexions Personal Adviser to write a
personal action plan for discussion at the review meeting. The head teacher
must make sure that the Transition Plan is completed after the meeting.
The Transition Plan can be discussed and changed, if necessary, at later
review meetings. You and your child will be asked to help with this Plan.
