You may have the option to stay on at college after you turn 18, or you may have moved on, perhaps to university.
Your personal plan will set out any future study that you have already planned with us and what needs to be in place to enable you to achieve your goals.
Discussions will be had about who needs to be part of the team around you – we will think about which professionals need to be part of your on-going support and who needs to contribute to meetings with you and partners.
If you have an EHC plan, your annual review will be conducted with you and your family. The focus of this review is to ensure that you have a destination and that everyone is clear about the steps and the support you need to get there.
If you are moving to a completely new provision, for example, a vocational pathway such as a supported internship, you and your family will be helped to identify the next steps.
If it is agreed to cease the EHC plan, the SEND Statutory Team will help you to create an exit plan that puts any new or additional provision in place for you to either continue in education or training, find work, or gain the right support from the right services to ensure that you continue to thrive in adult life.
If your education is continuing we will explore with you your support needs and whether the need to be met through an EHC plan or by other ways.
Going to university
Once your place has been confirmed at a university, you can ask the team to pass a copy of your EHC plan to the university. This will help to ensure they have the information they need in order to meet your needs.
