Transitional Planning
School to Post-School and Beyond
Emphasis on the Universal
• Senior Phase – an entitlement
• 16+LC Offer – an entitlement
• A Transitional Phase
Education (ASL) (Scotland) Act 2004(as amended)
• Definition of Additional Support Needs – “unable without the provision of additional support to benefit from school education provided”
• Incorporates a breadth of concept different from Special Needs
• Useful working definition – help to overcome significant barriers to learning
ASL Transitions
• General duty Regarding Changes to School Education – Section 13(6) and Associated Regulations
• Sections 12(6) & 13 of the ASL Act
• Duties of the Education Authority
• Timescales
• Appropriate Agencies
• Appeals
Challenges
• Who & When?• Current extent of transitional planning ?• Balance of Targeted and Universal ?• Specific group(s) being overlooked ?• Framework for re-engaging ‘disaffected’ young
people• Identification of 16+ opportunities• Effective involvement of partner agencies• The diverse nature of post-school provision• Changing nature of the school curriculum - CfE

What is Partnership Information?
• MCMC and 16+LC Data are integral components which produce Partnership Information;
• Individual data (Intended Destinations) to inform personal support, intervention and IAG;
• Local data to inform planning and delivery;
• Aggregated data to inform national monitoring, planning and statistics;
• Analysis of the data – what does it tell us? Performance?
• Focus on Care Leavers, Looked After Young People and ASN
• 16+LC Data Hub – National Developments and local events
Partnership Information - Priorities
• Support and challenge SDS, local authorities and Scotland’s Colleges through implementation of the 16+LC Data Hub – legal framework – technical articulation – governance;
• Provide policy advice and guidance to our partners and stakeholders (including articulation within Scottish Government);
• Work closely with SDS to design and develop a suite of reports;
• Establish a set of performance indicators aligned to the CIS;
• Develop our national capacity to perform analysis of data - evaluation;
• Promote a culture of collaboration – Community of Practice for Partnership Information.

16+ Learning Choices in Glasgow – A Whole School
Approach
16+ Structure in Glasgow
Area based 16+ LC Group
Bi-monthly meetings – needs analysis, resource management, project development
School MCMC / 16+ Groups
Monthly meetings – case management
Locality YEG Structure – Delivery of locality and, by extension, city-wide MCMC Action Plan(s)
Aims and Focusof the Review
• Review focused on 16+ delivery in Glasgow schools and associated support mechanisms and their role in maximising the numbers of young people entering and sustaining a positive destination after S4
• Specific emphasis on ‘identifying reasons why certain schools from across the city consistently achieve higher positive school leaver destination rates compared with other establishments’
• Consideration, in particular, of:– Data collection and systems for sharing;– Provision of supports across partners; and– Identification of good practice examples
Review Process &Values
• Project Team – comprised of Scottish Government team and local officers (SDS and 16+)
• Focus on ten secondary schools with varied experiences from across the city
• open and participative approach based on reflective practice and identification of solutions as well as challenges and barriers
• Face to face discussions using a semi-structured interview schedule
• Discussions held with 28 school staff and a focus group of SDS School Careers Advisors
Key Findings & Recommendations
• Evidence of some excellent practice although not always captured and shared systematically – review opportunities to identify and share best practice
• 16+ Learning Choices being addressed in all of the canvassed
secondary schools; however, in some schools, awareness of the agenda is confined to a ‘core’ group of staff – consider how CPD opportunities can be used to best effect
• The role of the Employability Officer is crucial for ‘holding the reins’ around the identification, referral and support processes in schools – explore opportunities for mainstreaming
• CLD input could be increased and co-ordinated more effectively – identify and develop school and area based partnerships for CLD delivery
Key findings & Recommendations
• Good examples of collegiate work between schools – work to be further developed in this regard
• Inconsistency across schools at level of integration of SDS staff into school teams – more detailed SLAs between schools and SDS including specific commitments to more integrated working practice
• difficulty in engaging employers both in terms of provision of work experience placements and also to input into the curriculum – key strategic role for the MCMC Partnership
Resulting Developments
• Reshaping of school teams including 52 week employability officers with purely secondary school focus
• Refresh of NEET Prevention and city-wide reporting structures
• Development of school partnership agreements – including CLD and SDS focused both on information/data sharing and provision
• Whole school employability event scheduled for March/April 2010 to share good practice and further develop systems and processes within schools
• Review to be incorporated as central reference tool for discussions on SDS/GCC Service Delivery Agreement ‘11/’12
