In Devon, there are a wide range of post-16 options tailored to support young people with SEND. Whether you want to keep learning at school or college, get work experience, start an apprenticeship, or try something new like a supported internship, there’s something for everyone.
Your school will support you to start thinking about your post-16 education or training plans from year 7 onwards, through a variety of careers education activities.
If you have an EHCP, your annual review from year 9 onwards should have a particular focus on considering options and choices for the next phases of education. In year 11, your school will support you and your family to make decisions about your next steps.
This guide will take you through the education choices available, the support you can expect, and how to find the right fit for your goals and aspirations.
