Connexions support for young people with special educational needs

All young people with special educational needs will have a Connexions Personal Adviser from Year 9. Personal Advisers will get to know individual young people and offer appropriate information and guidance. They help young people and their families to understand the options open to them and to make decisions about their future.

Personal Advisers will provide information for young people and their parents/carers on the range of options post-16. Personal Advisers will attend Transition Review Meetings in Year 9 and subsequent reviews.

They will be involved in drawing up a Transition Plan and will have responsibility for overseeing its delivery. Personal Advisers will maintain contact after leaving school and will provide support at each stage of transition. Personal Advisers can assess young people with special needs to identify their future support needs.
