Post-16 Transitions with an EHCP

When your EHC Plan is due to come to an end, the city council will put into place effective plans to support you in making the transition to life beyond school or college.  

As well as preparing you for adulthood generally, schools and colleges should ensure that disabled students have the information they need to make the final steps in this transition. 

This includes information about local employers, further training, routes into adult social care and where to go for further advice or support.

There are several circumstances where a local authority would not be responsible for maintaining a young person’s EHC Plan. These include:

• entering into higher education
• taking up paid employment
• the young person no longer wishes to engage in further learning and will transfer into community activities
