Post 16

Embarking on a life journey after the age of 16 is an exciting time, but it can also be difficult for some young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Doncaster has a local offer for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities with services to help learners access the education they require to fulfil their ambitions for the future

On this page, you can find:

What does the SEND Code of Practice tell us?

6.13 Maintained schools and PRUs must ensure that pupils from Year 8 until Year 13 are provided with independent careers guidance. Academies are subject to this duty through their funding agreements. Chapter 8 provides more information about careers guidance for children and young people.
