Post-16
Post-16 is education is that delivered in schools, sixth form colleges, Further Education (FE) Colleges, Specialist Colleges, Apprenticeships and Training Providers.
A greater emphasis in Post-16 education is placed on Preparing for Adulthood, and post-16 providers should refer to the dedicated Preparing for Adulthood tables provided in the Graduated Approach in order to fully support young people with SEN within their provision.
As part of helping the young person to prepare for the future, schools and colleges have to ensure that all young people attending education provision from Year 8 until Year 13 are provided with independent careers guidance. FE colleges also have equivalent requirements to support and provide access to careers guidance, to young people from age 18-25.
