If you have stayed in education after 16, either at sixth form, or at a further education college, you may have the choice to stay on after the age of 18. Otherwise, you may need to make some decisions about what you want to do next. You could decide that you’d like to go to university, or that you’d like to make the move into employment.
If you have an EHC plan, you will be helped to think even further ahead and there will be discussions about your potential needs when you reach 19.
You need to give consent for your family to be involved in your education from age 16 onward. Your annual review can continue to involve your family if this is your choice.
