What are progression pathways
Last updated:It is important for young people, their families and the team around them to consider their long-term pathway as early as possible. It is generally considered appropriate to discuss Post-16 plans from year 9 upwards. Conversations should be held about a child's aspirations for the future from an early age.
The purpose of identifying a progression pathway is not to limit or define young people. It should inform the decisions around their education options and choice of setting based on the progress they will make towards these long-term goals.
A young person's pathway should be reviewed within their Annual Review. They can change pathways at any time.
Most learners with EHCP’s can be placed on one of the following three main progression pathways:
- Meaningful activity
- community
- voluntary
- Supported employment via supported internships
- Employment, via:
- adult social care
- apprenticeships
- higher education
- further education
