Aim

 

By end of day, you will go away with clear actions and ideas which will enable you and key partners to work together to improve transition from school to college for young people with autism.

 

Course objectives

 

  • To develop an understanding of the implications of the current SEND policy context for your role in improving transition and outcomes for young people with autism and/or special educational needs making the move from school to college.

 

  • To explore and identify local and regional partnerships and the Local Offer with a view to extending and developing networks that can support transition from school to college for young people with autism and/or special educational needs.

 

  • To identify ways to work effectively with parents and young people to support successful transition.

 

  • To discuss the role of person–centred tools when working and planning with young people and their parents, developing Education Health and Care (EHC) plans and personalised outcomes.

 

  • To understand the steps you need to take to review and evaluate your curriculum offer in order to support transition and provide an effective pathway from school to college and into successful adult lives using the Finished at School self–audit tool.

 

  • To consider the implications of the day for action planning and staff development activities to support effective support for school to college transition.

 

A copy of the Finished at School guide, which captures the learning from the Finished at School programme and maps the key themes to the SEND code of practice, will be available for all people who attend this course.

 

Following the course each participant will have access to a new online module on person–centred thinking and person–centred tools.
