  • Dear Parents/Carers a Message in Support of West Midlands Police. Police and Schools in the City Are Committed to Working Togeth
    Langley Walk, Birmingham B15 2EF t: 0121 647 2760 e: [email protected] www.city-birmingham.academy Headteacher: Andy Brant BSC Dear Parents/Carers A message in support of West Midlands Police. Police and schools in the city are committed to working together to protect our young people from becoming victims of knife and weapons crime. We use a range of tactics including educational inputs and in-school searches to ensure that students are well- informed about the consequences of carrying weapons, and identify those that continue to do so. It is important that the police, schools and families work together to protect young people. To do this, parents must be aware of the warning signs and talk to children about carrying weapons. The consequences of being found in possession of a knife are serious and long lasting, affecting education, employment and travel opportunities, but most crucially, life. Some young people carry weapons because they feel it will provide protection or increase the respect they are given by their friends, but the sad fact is that they are more likely to become victims of serious violence. Parents should also be aware that girls sometimes carry or store weapons for their boyfriends or other male friends because they believe they are less likely to be stopped by the police. Their reasons are often misguided loyalty or love, but it is still a crime if they are caught carrying a knife or other weapon. WARNING SIGNS These signs don’t always mean the worst is happening and could just be normal teenage behaviour: 1.

This booklet has been put together for all young people who have a statement of special educational needs (SEN) or Education Health and Care (EHC) Plan to help them through Post16 transition. It includes information about Post 16 educational settings in Birmingham and about how to express a preference for the placements that they wish to attend. On 1 September 2014 a new system of assessing and making educational provision for students with special educational needs was introduced. To transfer a student from a statement to an EHC Plan involves a “transfer review”. This requires us, the LA, to complete an EHC needs assessment. This will involve three steps: • Step 1 – a transfer review meeting • Step 2 – your son/daughter will receive a draft EHC Plan • Step 3 – the final EHC Plan will be issued Student transferring to Year group Term for EHC Legal deadline for EHC Plan Review Meeting EHC Plan to be transferred In year 11, transfer from Year 11 Within the first half term 31 March 2018 school to a school sixth in Autumn 2017 form, post 16 provider or apprenticeship KS5 – year 13 and 14, Year 13/14 Within the first half term 31 March 2018 transfers to post 16 provider in Autumn 2017 or apprenticeship Leaving Youth Custody Year 13 and under On release 20 weeks from start of the process.
