Education Provision Post 16 Le 01 WELCOME NEW LEGISLATION: 02 WHAT’S CHANGED? PREPARATION FOR 03 ADULTHOOD TRANSITION INTO 04 POST-16 PROVISION 05 WHAT’S OUT THERE? 06 HELPFUL CONTACTS WELCOME Information about where to go and what is on offer can be difficult to find when you are thinking about your next steps. In producing this booklet, 14-19 Services aim to plug this gap by making sure that you and your family know what provision is available for your continued education and training. This booklet is intended to give a brief description of the education providers 14-19 Services currently work with. NEW LEGISLATION: WHAT’S CHANGED? The Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) reforms came into effect in September 2014. If you have a Statement or Learning Difficulty Assessment (LDA) it is likely you will be transferred to an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. The EHC Plan will be developed with you, your family, and any professionals supporting your education, health and care. It will clearly set out the support you will require from 0 - 25 and will avoid families having to ‘tell their stories’ many times to different services. Not everyone will transfer to an EHC plan straight away. By 1st April 2018 all young people will have transferred to a EHC plan. PREPARATION FOR ADULTHOOD Every EHC plan review from Year 9 onward will include a focus on preparation for adulthood outcomes. This is important because it makes sure your views are taken into account about your aspirations, ways in which you would like to keep healthy, where and with whom you want to live and how to access services within your local community. TRANSITION INTO POST-16 PROVISION If an independent specialist provider is named in your EHC plan then a place will be offered. However, it will be necessary to satisfy the following criteria before a place is named: • There is no local provision that is sufficient in quantity and adequate in quality that can meet the learner’s education or training needs. • There is evidence that the learner has medical or care needs that cannot be addressed by local providers and that would prevent the learner from accessing education or training that was sufficient in quantity and adequate in quality to meet his or her needs Local authorities must comply with preferences unless the local authority can demonstrate: • It would be unsuitable for the age, ability, aptitude or special educational needs of the child or young person. • The attendance of the child or young person there would be incompatible with the efficient education of others. • It is not an efficient use of public funds, for example, where local provision is able to meet the needs of the young person.

  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.
