Parent and carer guide to planning for college or training

When your young person is moving from school to a college or training provider, you will probably have a lot of questions.

Some visits or taster sessions are arranged directly between the school's special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) and the college or training provider. Ask your SENCO if these are planned.

You can also call the college or training provider and ask to speak to the tutor of the course you are interested in. They will be able to discuss what your young person will need to make the transition from school to college or training successful. For example, your young person may like to arrange to speak to students already on the course.
