SEND strategy priority 5: our transitions and preparation for adulthood vision

We will make sure that transitions between phases of education or changes in what we provide as support are smooth and supportive across all ages.

Outcomes of SEND strategy priority 5: our transitions and preparation for adulthood vision

Outcomes of this vision will be:

• timely, well-planned and person-centred transition for children and young people moving from one phase of education to another
• an offer of our vision and ambitious change for those young people who need additional support as they move into adulthood through the creation of a multi-agency, independently led Dorset Birth to Settled Adulthood Board who will lead on this programme
• a co-produced pathway for 14 to 25 year olds that includes education, health and care in place to make sure there's a person-centred approach based on the outcomes of each person
• increased employment and training opportunities for young people and adults with SEND through improved engagement with our communities. We'll make sure we're doing this by measuring a reduction in the number of NEET young people with an EHC plan
• an increase in the number of young people who can access mainstream provision which will also increase their potential to build strong community ties
