College age (16−19 years) SEND Support
Colleges should make sure that they have transition arrangements with schools for young people with SEND so that they can prepare for students coming in with a SEND. They should also have a system for identifying, assessing and monitoring a SEND student’s progress.
All maintained and academy sixth forms, sixth form colleges and further education colleges are funded by the government to support special educational needs. This funding should be used to provide appropriate and high quality SEND support for students identified as needing this. All 16-19 settings should be vigilant in identifying emerging needs in students. For example, the student was not on the SEN register in school, but since moving to post-16 education, they are beginning to struggle.
