\u201cIt\u2019s very confusing what you can do after school if you don\u2019t go to a college. Going to work isn\u2019t really happening after school. No one we know has a paid job. You can go to college or a day service where you just hang out and do stuff.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– A young person<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to preparing children and young people for each stage (transition) and into adulthood, from the earliest years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this is achieved, you will see:\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • that children and young people\u2019s strengths are at the forefront of all discussions\u200b about their support needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • at each stage of learning, children are prepared for new responsibilities, new experiences, new independence and new risks\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • planning and support that focuses on the future and positively supports aspirations rather than a focus on barriers\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We are committed to providing support, alongside information and advice, so that young people can make informed choices.<\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When this is achieved, you will see:\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • that young people are given support by a trusted adult to navigate different opportunities, so that they can make informed decisions about their next steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      We are committed to working in partnership with education, businesses and community organisations to create opportunities so young people can achieve their aspirations. <\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When this is achieved, you will see:\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • an increase in the number of children able to access educational opportunities that are right for them\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • that young people have meaningful and fulfilling experiences in paid employment and the voluntary sector\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        We are committed to facilitating a network of young people who can inspire others through their own journey.<\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When this is achieved, you will see:\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • that there are peer network opportunities for young people with SEND, for example a university alumni network for SEND\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • that the local area supports young people to champion their journey so they can inspire others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

          We will measure our performance against these commitments using:<\/strong>\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • feedback from children and young people\u200b\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • feedback from parents and carers\u200b\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • data showing an increase in the number of children and young people with SEND in Education Employment and Training (EET)\u200b\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • multi-agency audits of Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) showing the child and young person\u2019s voice and clear support for their aspirations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1801,"featured_media":0,"parent":21367,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-21372","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-17 13:32:18","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1801"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21372"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21826,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372\/revisions\/21826"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
