      Guide for Parents and Carers of Young People with SEND in Hampshire

      Navigating post-16 education for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can seem challenging, but by starting to consider these options from Year 9, and with the right information and support, you can make informed decisions that best suit your young person’s needs and ambitions for the future.

      This guide aims to simplify the process, covering key areas such as types of post-16 options (including the application process), the SEN consultation process and transport.

      Throughout the guide you will find links for further information and a frequently asked questions section. On the final page you will find a summary timeline to support you.
