SEND Careers Service
The SEND Careers Service supports young people aged 14 to 25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who have a current Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or receive Higher Needs Funding (HNF), as well as their parents and carers.
The service ensures that young people and their families can access information, advice and guidance at the right time to support informed decision-making and successful transitions into adulthood.
Through a Preparing for Adulthood approach, SEND Careers Advisors work alongside young people, families, education providers and partner agencies to help individuals explore their aspirations and identify appropriate pathways into further education, training, employment, supported internships, apprenticeships and lifelong learning opportunities that support personal development and future progression.
This targeted approach enables Careers Advisors to provide personalised careers guidance and focused support to those young people who require it most, helping them to make progress towards their future ambitions and adult outcomes.
