Supporting Our SEND Learners With Post 16 Pathways

Shaping Futures, part of the national UniConnect Programme, are funded by the Office for Students to support learners to make informed decisions about their future educational pathways. We work in partnership with 12 local providers of further and higher education to offer impartial information, advice and guidance, specifically targeted towards those who may face barriers in accessing outreach provision.

They are excited to launch their latest resource: Inclusive Transitions. This booklet has been developed in collaboration with our partnership, utilising the expertise of Student Support Teams and the lived experience of current higher education students with disabilities.

 The resource is designed for learners aged 14+ to explore their options beyond school and to develop essential advocacy skills to support them to talk about their accessibility needs.

 This is available as an online PDF, compatible with screen readers, and a physical booklet in both standard and large print. We have created accompanying resources including a Parents and Carers Guide and teaching materials including PowerPoint presentations. All materials can be accessed through our website.

If you would like to order physical copies of the booklet please could you email admin@shaping-futures.info with the number of copies requested, standard or large print and the address you’d like them to be sent. We have a limited supply of booklets which will be available on a first come, first served basis.
