SEN Support Toolkit

9. Transitions





Transition into school, out of school and between schools can be points where any SEN vulnerabilities are felt more acutely.  Supporting children, young people, families and professionals through these key times can help ensure that needs are met in the best way and outcomes are maximised.  Within your context it may be appropriate to create an enhanced transition package which includes parents as well as students.  This can be time saving for you as a SENCO but also open up a line of communication with new parents.

 

There are a lot of websites which offer advice on transition, some starting points are offered in the table below.
