All about transitions

As we work together to improve outcomes for children and young people, we continue to identify that transitions are a time when there needs to be an enhanced level of planning and oversight, in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.

The SEND Code of Practice 2015 emphasises key elements involved in good transitions and these are relevant for all children and young people:

• Preparation
• Working with parents around transition planning
• Reviewing the support being provided in the current setting or school
• Good information sharing between the current and receiving setting or school
• Joint planning to undertake a supported transition
