Tender: SEND Careers and Post-16 Transition Support for Vulnerable Year 10–11 Pupils – The Council

About

The Council is seeking a supplier for targeted early intervention careers support for vulnerable pupils with additional needs to reduce the risk of disengagement at transition, improve wellbeing and life chances, and support wider borough objectives for children and young people. The service will maintain engagement in education, raise aspirations and ensure identified pupils have clear, realistic and supported post-16 plans by working from Spring and Summer of Year 10 through to Autumn of Year 11, including early identification of suitable post-16 pathways and support for college applications at the start of Year 11. Providers are required to deliver targeted SEND careers and post-16 transition support for approximately 15 pupils in each secondary school, focusing on Year 10 and Year 11 pupils working towards GCSE grades 1–3 who have a known additional need or receive SEND support, support pupils at risk of poor post-16 transition outcomes to remain engaged in education, identify suitable post-16 pathways and support preparation for college or training applications, and provide follow-up activity so each young person has an appropriate plan in place for September of Year 12.
