PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Students: Special Educational Needs (15 June 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to help ensure that the transfer of information from school to college is as good as the transfer of information from school to school for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

The SEND Review has listened carefully to children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) and is alert to the barriers which pupils with SEND can face transitioning from school to college.

The review is considering how to improve the transition process for students, with, and without, education health and care plans, as well as how we can support schools and colleges in effectively managing the transition process.

The SEND Review is exploring with all partners across education, health and care, how data sharing can be improved to support children and young people with SEND.

This includes considering how the transfer of information between school to college can be improved, to strengthen pathways into further education, by being more effective and well timed.
