Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 4 of 70 March 2017 V1

1. Introduction

The SEND Post 14 strategy forms part of the Isle of Wight’s SEND (Special Educational

Needs and Disabilities) strategy 2017-2019 providing the aims and aspirations for SEND

provision for island children, young people and young adults. The SEND Post 14 strategy

should be read in the context of other plans for young people which are in place and builds on

the work already undertaken within mainstream schools, special schools, academies, further

education colleges and with partner agencies to develop post 14 offer provision for young

people on the Isle of Wight

. The SEND Post 14 Strategy aim is for,

“Island young people to have high levels of participation in education and training, with

above average rates of achievement and progress into apprenticeships and Higher

Education”

The Strategy outlines how the island will work to realise these aims for all of its young people

and ensure that SEND learners are enabled and supported to experience similar and/or

appropriate opportunities for further education, training and or employment.

Although progress has been made in a number of areas of the post 14 curriculum in recent

years, both professionals and parents recognise that SEND provision is often fragmented,

lacks coherence and does not prepare SEND young people for work or independence. There

are still SEND young people who are not engaged in education, training and or employment

after leaving school/college.

Although there is evidence that the overall number of NEET (Not in Education Employment or

Training) and young people on the island has reduced in recent years and is consistently

below the national average and our statistical neighbours, there is no reliable data available on

the number of SEND NEET young people with EHC Plan/statement or who are considered

vulnerable to allow resources to be more effectively targeted.

The SEND Post 14 strategy supports SEND young people aged 14-25 who have a formal

EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan), those who had an LDA (Learning Disability

Assessment) which have been converted to an EHC Plan and those young people who are

considered to be vulnerable with either learning difficulties and/or social, emotional and mental

health difficulties.

2. The purpose and direction of the Isle of Wight Local Authority’s strategy: vision and values

Our vision is to enable all children and young people on the Isle of Wight to aspire to and

achieve, giving them the basis for a successful life as active members of the community.

Learning is at the heart of delivering that vision and improving the attainment of all young

people is a key priority for the Isle of Wight. The Council acknowledges that the attainment of

students, including those with impairments needs to be improved. For this reason, raising

attainment is a key priority for the Isle of Wight; the partnership with Hampshire Local Authority

demonstrates the Council’s commitment to improving the attainment of island children and

young people. Outside of the family nothing else offers greater opportunities and

responsibilities for making sure all children stay safe and healthy, enjoy and achieve and make

a positive contribution to their communities in order that they are able to get the most out of life

now and into the future. Making learning accessible to all our children in ways that will promote

the best outcomes for them is the guiding principle underpinning this strategy.

We want the very best for island children, starting with early years through to their transition

into adulthood. Together with our partner agencies in the Isle of Wight’s Children’s Trust we

are working towards achieving this common aim. The IW Childrens Trust action plan can be

viewed here. Our recent Multi Agency Transition Protocol supports the process of moving

from Children’s to Adult Education, Health and Care Services. This document can be viewed

here.

There are many challenges for schools and the Local Authority, to ensure that we can deliver

the very best education for all young people. We need to respond to the changes ahead and to

make efficient and cost-effective use of investment opportunities in the context of challenging

economic circumstances and in a changing and increasingly more diverse school system of

maintained schools and non-maintained academies and free schools.

Our aim is to ensure that children and young people, including those with special educational

needs (SEN) and disabilities are at the heart of the vision on the island. Our strategy aims to

provide the very best education for all our children, delivered as locally as possible to the

child’s home and local community.

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 6 of 70 March 2017 V1

It is important to note that because a young person has a disability this does not necessarily

mean that he or she has a special educational need. A young person with a disability has a

special educational need if this disability prevents or hinders him/her from making use of

facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or

mainstream post 16 institutions. Young people may have either a disability and/or a special

educational need.

SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) young people and young adults, as well as

their parents/carers often express their frustration at the lack of information and planning when

young people leave school (Yr. 11 or Yr. 14) and college. Only a small number of island SEND

young people currently access employment, apprenticeships, supported employment or

training. Often SEND learners repeat same level courses, which do not offer progression or

preparation for adulthood.

The SEND Post 14 Strategy will clearly define and develop a multi-agency 14-25 pathway

(service) for all SEND young people and young adults that enables participation in learning (be

it formal education or vocational opportunities) at least until their 18th birthday. As there is no

automatic entitlement to continued support at age 19 nor an expectation that those with an

EHCP should stay in education until the age of 25, (See New DfE guidance on post 19 EHC

Plans to view the document click here). It is also important to ensure that ‘raising the age of

participation’ for 16-18 year olds is available and accessible for SEND learners also. This

means that the vision of SEND Post 14 strategy recognises that some SEND young people

will require longer to achieve their education and or training outcomes to enable them to

prepare for adulthood in a meaningful way.

Therefore the SEND post 14 vision is about:

Having high quality provision for education, work experience, supported internships

and employment.

Having joint commissioned arrangements and agreed protocols in place between the

IW Local Authority, its partners and its providers for agreed provision

Recognising that many young people’s SEND needs can be met without the need for a

formal EHC assessment or Plan

Increasing the options and appropriate pathways post 14 within the island through

developing partnership provision.

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 7 of 70 March 2017 V1

strengthening collaborative partnership working as integrated SEND Post 14 services

are developed between education, children’s and adult care social services and the

health authority for local provision for SEND young people with highly significant needs

The Social Model of Disability The Isle of Wight fully endorses the “social model” of disability, which proposes that it is

society which dictates who is excluded – not the nature of the disability itself and recognises

that removing barriers is as much about encouraging positive attitudes and behaviour traits as

it is about removing physical barriers.

In a changing world, where social interaction, teaching and learning and access to information,

goods and resources is increasingly delivered electronically, removing barriers experienced by

those with impairments and disabilities is crucial and needs to be central to the delivery of

services and information.

Capacity building in mainstream schools

As part of the buildings programme and the island’s review of its three tier to two tier school

reorganisation an extensive consultation took place with communities, schools, young people

and families. It took into account the comprehensive review of provision and need for the

future. A further review of provision of 11-16 and post 16 school and college places on the

island took place during 2015. The decision was to keep the current provision across the

island but to support new builds for some of our older schools. This has resulted in several

proposed new builds for our secondary provision via the EFA (Education Funding Agency)

priority school building programme.

SEND Context

We recognise the importance of taking into account the needs of all children and young people

identified as having SEN and Disabilities, the majority of whom receive their education in a

mainstream setting. As of Summer 2016, there were 16,772 children that attended school (R-2

to Year 14). Within this cohort there are currently 388 statemented children (2.3%) and 199

with an Educational Health Care Plan (1.2%) [R-2 to Year 14] and of these, 227 attend a

special school, this represents 3.5% of children on the island who have a statement/EHCP

with 1.4% attending a special school place.

2,396 children within this cohort received SEN Support this represents 14.3% of the cohort.

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 8 of 70 March 2017 V1

The island has a good mixture of small, medium and large primary/secondary schools with the

majority of children receiving their first choice placement.

(See Annex 2)

On the Isle of Wight 17.0% of pupils have a have a statutory plan of SEN (statement or EHC

plan) or are receiving SEN support (previously school action and school action plus). This

compares to an average of 14.9% across All English unitary authorities. NB these figures, and

those in the first three charts below, are for pupils attending schools in Isle of Wight. They do

not include children and young people for whom Isle of Wight is responsible but has placed out

of borough.

Across all English unitary authorities, the proportion of pupils with statements or education,

health and care (EHC) plans ranges from 1.5% to 4.5%. For 2015/16 the Isle of Wight has a

value of 3.5%, compared to an average of 2.9% in All English unitary authorities. Although this

figure is above the national average, it has remained static for the last four years.

3. The Legal Framework Section 19 of the Children and Families Act 2014 makes clear that local authorities, in carrying

out their functions under the Act in relation to disabled children and young people and those

with special educational needs (SEND), must have regard to:

The views, wishes and feelings of the child or young person, and the child’s parents/carers.

The importance of the child or young person, and the child’s parents, participating ‘as fully as

possible’ in decisions, and being provided with the information and support necessary to enable

participation with those decisions.

The need to support the child or young person, and the child’s parents/carers, in order to

facilitate the development of the child or young person and to help them achieve the best

possible educational and other outcomes, preparing them effectively for adulthood.

In addition, Section 20 describes when a young person has special educational needs as

(1) A young person has special educational needs if he or she has a learning difficulty or disability

which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.

(2) A young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she—

(a) Has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or

(b) Has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind

generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream post-16 institutions.

Chapter 8 of the Code of Practice (2015) is about preparation for adulthood and paragraph

8.39 states

“Local authorities have a strategic leadership role in fulfilling their duties concerning the

participation of young people in education and training. They should work with schools, colleges

and other post-16 providers, as well as other agencies, to support young people to participate in

education or training and to identify those in need of targeted support to help them make positive

and well-informed choices”

The new Special Education Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (July 2014) and Care Act

(2014) emphasise the need for all relevant agencies, i.e. health, social care and education, to

support young people with special educational needs (SEN) or disabilities to prepare for adult

life and support them to achieve their potential to engage in employment, independent living,

and community participation and achieve and maintain good health (Chapter 8 Preparing for

adulthood from the earliest years).

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 12 of 70 March 2017 V1

It is the local authority’s responsibility to establish a shared vision and strategy with co-

ordinated approaches by agencies to secure better outcomes. Local Authority agencies should

work together to provide pathways into employment, independent living, participation in society

and good health.A

Agencies should support to young people to build on their achievements and ensure young

people have access, through the local offer, to services that help to develop the necessary

skills to enable them to access these pathways.B

LAs duties should include:C

Regard to the views of young people and provide support where necessary (Chap 1).

The offer of impartial advice and information directly to young people (Chap 2) and ensure that they and their families are able to use services effectively.D

Make joint commissioning arrangements regarding health, education and social care (Chap 3).D

Review of education and care provision, consulting young people directly (Chap 3) and use a personalised framework, based on outcomes, which support young person’s long term goals and aspirations.D

Produce a local offer outlining provision available which will prepare young people for adult life.

Provide support to access higher education (Chap 4).

Advice on support and benefits available in higher education including DSA (8.46).

Building capacity to provide a comprehensive universal and targeted service.D

In addition, Chapter 3 which is about working together across education, health and care

joint outcomes paragraph 3.9 states

“Joint commissioning arrangements must cover the services for 0-25 year old children and young

people with SEN or disabilities, both with and without EHC plans.”

Section 21 in Children and Families Act 2014 further cements the importance of the joint

arrangements for Special educational provision, health care provision and social care

provision as follows:

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 13 of 70 March 2017 V1

(1) “Special educational provision”, for a young person, means educational or training provision

that is additional to, or different from, that made generally for others of the same age in— (c)

mainstream post-16 institutions in England

(3) “Health care provision” means the provision of health care services as part of the

comprehensive health service in England continued under section 1(1) of the National Health

Service Act 2006.

(4) “Social care provision” means the provision made by a local authority in the exercise of its

social services functions.

(5) Health care provision or social care provision which educates or trains a young person is to be

treated as special educational provision (instead of health care provision or social care provision).”

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 14 of 70 March 2017 V1

4. Development of the Post 14 Strategy

The SEND Post 14 Strategy has been developed from the work undertaken by a Task and

Finish Group set up to address SEND post 14 issues. This work was coordinated by

Hampshire through open workshops made up of key service providers which helped to

shape the initial draft strategy. This document has also been shared with the following

groups:

senior staff in mainstream secondary schools and colleges,

work experience providers,

Parents from Parents Voice IW

Special Educational Needs and Disability Information , Advice Support Service (SENDIASS)

Isle of Wight Council officers representing:

o Education

o SEN

o Children Social Care

o Adult Social Care

CCG/NHS officers

The group met regularly from 17th March 2017. From the Task and Finish Group a further three groups were formed,

a curriculum group, which also considered preparation for adulthood,

a group mapping existing SEND employment pathways within the island and beyond

A group which considered the interface between children’s and adult care services.

In addition, work was undertaken on relevant data needed to provide management information

to underpin the main recommendations from the three groups.

This strategy reflects the work undertaken by these groups and the views and comments

received from interviews with parents and young people (see Annex 4), who attended

mainstream/F.E. and special schools on the island. It also reflects the views of parents of

some young people who attended independent /non maintained schools, as well as a number

of professionals from schools, FE (Further Education) Colleges, Isle of Wight Local Authority,

service providers and other educational providers who were interviewed and provided

comments and views which helped to shape this SEND Post 14 Strategy.

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 15 of 70 March 2017 V1

The Isle of Wight Council thanks all those who participated and contributed to the completion

of this Strategy.

The emerging themes that came out of various groups, discussions and comments form the

basis of the strategic priorities described in the following section.

5. Key Areas for Development As indicated within the Isle of Wight’s SEND Strategy

‘The Island wants to ensure …..all SEND young people and young adults have the full

range of support and opportunities available….. with opportunities to maximise their life

chances, goals and aspirations.’

In capturing the discussions from the Islands stakeholders, there are a number of priorities to

consider which are outlined below to support the island to achieve this vision for SEND post

14 learners:

Strengthen the Post 14 offer and support service framework for young people and

young adults with SEND (SEND Strategy 2016/20 Priority 4)

Develop local provision to meet needs particularly in relation to post 14 Autism

Spectrum Disorder

Develop and strengthen the range of work related experiences and supported

employment opportunities for SEND students (Joint Hampshire and IW Supported

Internship project)

Support FE settings to focus on progression towards positive destinations and

preparation for adulthood pathways. (Joint Hampshire and IW Supported Internship

project)

Ensure providers have specialist resources (both internal and external), experience

and expertise to provide high quality education and training to enable SEND young

people achieve their goals (Ofsted reports from education providers)

Ensure the Preparation for Adulthood themes: Health, supported housing, supported

employment and social relationships are embedded within all partners/provider

assessments, interventions and outcomes framework (National Preparation to

adulthood network)

To utilise the Disabled Children Needs Assessment data and Adult learning Disability

data for intelligence gathering to develop the provision map for the post 16 cohort

(JSNA [Joint Strategic Needs Assessment] - Public Health)

To work within a co-productive framework with SEND young adults and parents/carers

to have accessible and helpful information through the Local Offer that provides

guidance and enables them to make informed choices for SEND post 14 provision

(Local Offer Working Group)

To develop a commissioning framework to ensure the right number of placements,

resources and opportunities are made available to meet needs and aspiration of

individual learners (Hampshire partnership)

6. Key Principles

The delivery the Isle of Wight SEND Post 14 vision and priorities will be underpinned by the

following principles:

1. There should be provision available to all young people with SEND aged 14 to 25 to

access purposeful activities i.e. education, work experience, supported employment,

self-employment, supported internship, apprenticeship, or training, including voluntary

and community projects as appropriate.

2. All young people with SEND should be able to make appropriate progress from

whatever starting point with a clear destination pathway.

3. All young people with SEND post 14 should have access to (high quality) impartial

careers advice and guidance which prepares them for their next steps in life (see Island

Futures)

4. All young people with SEND are entitled to expect a safe environment for learning and

working

5. All young people should have access to work related learning activities as appropriate

to their level of ability

6. Services are delivered through partnership working and joint commissioning

arrangements for SEND Post 14

7. Equality of access to a range of SEND post 14 services and support to provide

increased choice and control

for the delivery of the SEND Post 14 Strategy

9. Ensure that the Local Offer reflects the range of support and opportunities available to

all SEND post 14 learners, particularly those with high needs.

10. Ensure culturally appropriate support and services are available for all SEND Post 14

learners to promote inclusion and community cohesion

7. The current context on the Isle Of Wight

The Isle of Wight, with 57 miles of coastline, is largely a rural area, of which 80% is taken up

by agriculture and horticulture, and 50% is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural

Beauty.

The Isle of Wight has 39 Electoral Wards served by 40 Councillors (Brading, St Helens and

Bembridge has two Councillors). At the last election of the Isle of Wight Council in May 2017

there was an overall Conservative majority. In addition there are 25 Parish and 8 Town

councils. The Isle of Wight is the eleventh largest Unitary Authority in the South East region.

The island has a population approaching 139,105 (mid 2014), the vast majority of whom are

white British (94.8%) of which 27,731 are children and young people under the age of 18.

Children and young people make up just 20.9% of the population of the Isle of Wight. There is

an ageing population and economic activity rates are low. Nearly 50% of the population are

aged over 45 and one in four are of retirement age. 56.6% of the resident population aged 16

to 74 are in employment, compared to a national average of 60.6% (Census 2011. Crown

Copyright). For further data about the Isle of Wight please click here

There are a total of 51 schools comprising 40 primary schools including academies, 8

secondary schools including academies, and 2 special schools and 1 Pupil Referral Centre.

Most secondary providers on the island have sixth form provision. Post 16 provision is

provided at our General Further Education provider the Isle of Wight College along with

several Work Based Learning Providers. More information about this offer can be found here.

It is the Local Authority’s policy to integrate students with disabilities in mainstream settings

where this is appropriate for their learning. However, some young people have needs that are

so significant and complex that they require specialist facilities and resources. This is provided

at Medina House for our primary sector and St George’s for the secondary sector and in some

cases within independent specialist providers both locally and on the mainland.

We also have four specialist provisions that provide support to pupils with an Autism Spectrum

Disorder (ASD). Two of these provisions cater for our primary sector and are based at

Greenmount Primary School and Broadlea Primary School; each has six full-time places. For

pupils in our secondary sector, these provisions have 12 full-time equivalent places each and

are based at Carisbrooke College and Sandown Bay Academy. In addition to providing pupils

with specialist support, these specialist provisions provide opportunities for integration so that

pupils and students can also experience a mainstream setting alongside their peer group,

when appropriate and where this is in the best interests of the pupil.

From April 2017 a Communication and Language team was set up to provide outreach

support for children across our island primary schools. This referral service provides universal,

targeted and specialist levels which provides direct support to the child and training for the

school.

There is a strong relationship between the local authority and its community of schools,

including the academies. Details of the Isle of Wight schools, and the SEN provision available

can be found at the following link and for our Early Years provision which can be found here.

In October 2013 the Local Authority invited the IW College to become a “centre of

excellence” for Learners with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (LLDD) post 16 and to set

up a discrete building to include the specialist facilities required to meet their needs. The

proposal was to bid for DGCF (Demographic Growth Capital Fund) funding for a discrete

block for LLDD students to be built on the College campus in close proximity to the Learning

Resources Centre, which houses the current LLDD department.

The Local Authority were notified at the end of 2013 of the successful bid which provided

funding of £2.4m, for a building consisting of two storeys with a size of 1,180sqm based on

forecast growth of 55 LLDD students by 2016/17. Numbers of young people with Profound

and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) are growing on the island and the new centre

would ensure that students have the option of staying on the Island near their families,

rather than attending a residential facility on the mainland or remaining at school. The new

resource (Pathways) opened in September 2015.

Requirements for local authorities to put in place an accessibility strategy are specified in

schedule 10 of the Act: Accessibility for disabled pupils. This schedule provides for

accessibility arrangements for pupils in schools as set out in section 88. The Island’s

Accessibility Strategy can be viewed here.

The SEN team have converted all young people post 16 who have requested a conversion

from Learning Disability Assessments (LDA) to an EHC Plan by the deadline of December

2016 and this number needs to be added to the overall cohort of young people with an EHC

Plan.

Annex 1 shows the initial information capture for provision in place to improve outcomes for

young people across education, health and care services.

Annex 2 shows the number of children (Autumn Census 2015) who receive SEN Support and

young people with an EHC Plan/statement and the distribution of this number across our

island education providers.

Annex 3 shows the number of statemented/EHCP pupils on roll in schools by year group. It

should be noted that the higher numbers in Years 9-11 are likely to continue into post 16

education as below:

There are approximately 490 young people aged between 14 and 18+ on the Isle of Wight with

an Education, Health and Care Plan or a Statement. 231 of these young people access

secondary school including sixth forms (as shown above). In addition there are 169 with a post

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 21 of 70 March 2017 V1

Learning Difficulties and Multi-Sensory Impairments. Demand on the island for this provision

is high as the number of children/young people with these needs continues to rise.

Independent/non maintained special schools The island has 58 young people (March 2017) attending Independent/non maintained special

schools 31 pre 16 and 27 post 16. The total cost of this provision is £3.2m per annum. The

year on year costs of this group are rising faster than any other group with an average cost of

£55.3k per place. It should be noted that 11 of these young people each cost the Isle of Wight

Council more that £100k per annum, with some being jointly funded by education and social

care/health services. Of this group 45 are aged 14 or above.

The majority of these young people fall into three categories social, emotional and mental

health (SEMH), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) or speech and language and communication

difficulties (SLCN). There is a great demand for provision in these three main areas, as

numbers of children/young people with these needs continues to rise.

The context above provides the financial context for why there needs to be a SEND Post 14

strategy in partnership with colleagues across children and adult social care as well as health.

In order to respond to emerging needs of:

ASD, SEMH and SLCN which represent the areas of need where there is highest and increasing demand post 16.

The high number of young people post 16 with EHC Plans who attend high cost off island placements

We also need to ensure we have developed the employment route for those SEND learners

who need additional support and widen the reach of our “Supported Internship” pilot

Achievement It is acknowledged that at all levels the island SEN group underperform when compared to

the national average. For example at KS4 (GCSE)

Key Stage 4 (GCSE)

6.1% of pupils with statements of SEN or EHC plans and 14.3% of pupils on SEN support on

the Isle of Wight achieve 5A*-C including English and maths at KS4. This compares to the All

8. Our Strategic Priorities

The following strategic priorities are informed by significant consultative work with

stakeholders. In order to focus and develop the Isle of Wight’s local arrangements for SEND

young people aged 14 to 25, the agreed priorities taken from section 5 are as follows:

1. Develop local SEND provision to meet needs

2. Strengthen the SEND post 14 Offer and support

3. Develop employment pathways with partner agencies

4. Develop integrated SEND post 14 data systems

5. To Improve quality SEND post 14 information and accessibility

6. To establish integrated SEND Post 14/ Preparation to Adulthood Governance arrangements

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 26 of 70 March 2017 V1

Strategic Priority 1: Develop local SEND provision to meet needs

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight?

There is a need to ensure that there is a range of high quality SEND post 14 provision

available locally particularly for young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

and Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs, as these groups are a significantly

growing cohort on the Isle of Wight. Provision needs to be well co-ordinated with an

emphasis on person centred planning. Provision, both full and part time, needs to be in

line with the aspirations of young people but also compatible with the most efficient use

of resources working with a range of services on the island and in collaboration with

social care (children and adults) as well as neighbouring authorities.

We will:

a) Plan and develop with young people and their families, with social care, health

and neighbouring authorities, the most appropriate local provision to support

young peoples’ aspirations.

b) Review existing off island provision attended by young people with SEND at post

14 to determine value for money and suitability.

c) Develop more local provision for young people with social, emotional and mental

health (SEMH) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) to meet needs within the

Isle of Wight at post 14 which is high quality and cost efficient.

We will know we have been successful if:

There are Integrated Pathways in place for SEND post 14 learners

Local provision meets the needs of young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder

(ASD) and Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH),

There are joint arrangements in place that meet local needs

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 27 of 70 March 2017 V1

Strategic Priority 2: Strengthen the SEND post 14 Offer and support

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight? In strengthening the SEND post 14 offer, we will support all SEND young people make

successful transitions to appropriate provision. We will ensure robust collaborative

transition planning between social care (children and adults) and health providers from

Year 9 to develop clear progression pathways with outcomes. Where necessary and

appropriate to increase the range of local provision to provide more choice and control

We will know we have been successful if:

There is an increase in the participation rate at post 16 for young people with

SEND,

There is a reduction in the number of young people with SEND who are NEET

There is increased progression into a wider range of high quality local courses

and employment

We will:

a) Work with maintained mainstream schools, academies, and further education

(F.E.) providers to agree and to put in place a process for collaborative transition

planning arrangements from schools to further education.

b) Develop appropriate arrangements to support very vulnerable young people with

SEND in special schools to have a smooth transition from school to F.E.

providers.

c) Work with all schools, colleges and settings to develop ways of working which

are person centred, outcome focused and linked to EHC Plans.

d) Work with partner agencies to have in place clear transition protocols and

integrated pathways

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 28 of 70 March 2017 V1

Strategic Priority 3: Develop employment pathways with partner

agencies

We will know we have been successful if:

There are increased numbers of SEND young people accessing and staying in

employment related positions.

We will:

a) Work with No Barriers to encourage creation of employment related opportunities

for this cohort with the council and strategic partners.

b) Develop commissioning arrangements with existing local providers in the Isle of

Wight and beyond to deliver a range of high quality work experience

opportunities, apprenticeships and supported internships.

c) Develop a directory via the local offer outlining support available for SEND young

people who want to access employment opportunities

d) Work in partnership with local employers and SEND young people and young

adults to ensure that they have the appropriate skills and training in preparation

for employment.

e) Work with IW Council/Health team leaders to promote work experience,

traineeships, supported internships opportunities and to ensure schemes include

vacancies for SEND young people and young adults.

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight? Employment is seen as a valued progression route and employment pathways are a key

component of the local offer. In developing employment pathways, we will increase

opportunities for SEND young people and young adults to successfully manage the

transition from education to employment. In addition, for those SEND young people

needing alternative employment pathways, develop the volunteering and community

engagement pathways to ensure all SEND young people have a range of options

available to them.

Isle of Wight Council

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 29 of 70 March 2017 V1

Strategic Priority 4: Develop integrated SEND post 14 data systems

We will know we have been successful if:

The Isle of Wight’s NEET data accurately reflects the number of NEET SEND

young people.

We have a process for providers to register for the Council’s Direct Purchasing

System (DPS), who can offer alternative forms of education to our young people

and can offer a specialist service to our more vulnerable children.

We are able use accurate and reliable data to commission or recommission

jointly SEND Post 14 services to meet need.

We will:

a) Collect and submit to DfE accurate SEND NEET data.

b) Have an integrated SEND Post 14 Preparation to Adulthood 16-25 database

containing information on all SEND young people that captures primary need,

progression, destination, health and social care support packages, costing for

current provision and any other relevant data that helps map and plan future

provision.

c) Set up a process for providers to register for the Council’s Direct Purchasing

System (DPS)

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight? To use data intelligently to identify gaps, map SEND Post 14 provision, address

emerging themes outlined in JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) and other

relevant local or regional documentation.

Children’s Service SEND Post 14 Strategy Page 30 of 70 March 2017 V1

Strategic Priority 5: To improve quality SEND post 14 information

and accessibility

We will know we have been successful if:

SEND young people have an understanding of the options available to them at

key transition points

SEND young people and their parent /carers know how to easily access

information that supports them to make informed choices

We will:

a) Provide early information for SEND young people and their parent/carers to

manage expectation and prepare effectively for progression

b) Work in partnership and co-production to shape SEND Post 14 service and

pathways

c) Ensure those providing advice and guidance involve SEND young people and

young adults in the creation and dissemination of relevant SEND Post 14

information

d) Develop innovative and technological methods of communicating such, e.g.

Wikis* with SEND Post 14 young people and young adults

*(A Wiki is Web page that can be viewed and modified by anybody with a Web

browser and access to the Internet. This means that any visitor to the wiki can

change its content if they desire)

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight? The Local Offer should reflect the range of SEND Post 14 services available across the

partnership and settings with up to date, relevant and accurate service entries.

To ensure that SEND young people and young adults alongside the parent/carers are

able to work in a co-productive manner to voice their input into shaping SEND Post 14

arrangements and developments

Strategic Priority 6: To establish integrated SEND

Post14/Preparation to Adulthood Governance arrangements

We will know we have been successful if:

The Post 14/ Preparation to adulthood pathway is clearly understood

SEND young people and their parent/carers voice satisfaction and confidence in

the SEND Post 14 arrangements in place

We will:

a) Put SEND young people and their families first and work to ensure that they have

confidence and trust in the SEND post 14 provision on the Isle of Wight

b) Devise a clear action plan with a timeline from the SEND Post 14 Strategy and

involve all stakeholders in this development

c) Develop appropriate work streams which will include SEND young people and

young adults, and parents/camera to deliver the action plan

d) Ensure that appropriate governance arrangements are in place to oversee the

implementation of the main priorities of the strategy

e) Ensure that in all levels of participation, parent/carers and SEND young people

and young adults are fully engaged in SEND policies and practices at post 14.

Why is this important for the Isle of Wight? To build confidence across stakeholders and partners in education, social care, health

services, parents/carers and SEND young people and young adults, there must be

robust and consistent oversight in the development of SEND Post 14/Preparation for

adulthood arrangements

required to continue learning for longer. This could be by continuing at school, going to college, going into employment/an apprenticeship or volunteering (with part-time learning). Raising the Participation Age in education and training does not mean raising the school leaving age, nor does it mean that every young person needs to be in full time education. Young people will be able to participate in: • Full time education or training e.g. at college or 6th form. • Work based learning e.g. an Apprenticeship. • Part time accredited education or training if employed, self-employed or volunteering - minimum 20 hours per week. It may suit some young people to learn on a part-time basis alongside employment and participation can take place in a range of places. There is more choice available after the age of 16 because there are no longer compulsory subjects. Some Post 16 courses take a year to complete and others take two, so your child could be making further choices when they are 17.
