WSS past event

At each stage of their learning and development, children and young people need to be prepared for the new responsibilities, new experiences, new opportunities and the new risks associated with the next stage.

This webinar explores how schools can arrange provision to prepare children and young people to make choices throughout their life, from food and friends, to making choices about education, training or employment.

The webinar focusses on the recently updated ‘Preparing for Adulthood from the Earliest Years Review Guide’, designed to support settings, schools and colleges in reviewing, reflecting on and improving the range of ways in which they prepare children and young people with SEN and disabilities for the next stage of their learning and development and into adulthood.

This webinar includes:

- An introduction to the PfAEY Review guide

- Navigation of the guide, summarising how it is used for self-evaluation and peer review

- Case-studies of impact from senior leaders 12-18 months after using the guide for self-evaluation and peer review.

You can download the PfAEY Review Guide here.

This webinar is suitable for practitioners from all settings and phases.

 

Suitable for: Assistant Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher, Head Teacher, SENCO, Senior Leader
