Notes – SENDIASS and SARAH LEADLEY SEND Information, Advice and Guidance Officer will be joining us.

The SEND Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Officers sit within the 0-25 SEND Team as part of Children and Young People, Specialist Services.

To access support from a SEND IAG officer, a child or young person will have undergone an Education, Health and Care needs assessment for SEND and hold an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

The role of the SEND IAG is specifically around supporting children/young people and the families with regards to post-16 education:

· SEND IAGs provide children/young people and their families with specialist SEND-specific information, advice and guidance on educational choices post-16.

· They work with educational settings to provide specialist SEND-specific information, advice and guidance on educational choices post-16.

· Provide support for children/young people to prepare for adult life with a focus on enabling young people to be happy and active members of their community with the greatest level of independence.

To receive support from a SEND IAG officer, it is expected that, where applicable, a child or young person will have received careers advice and guidance from a professional within their setting at first. Our SEND IAG officers work closely with all settings with East Riding students on-roll and possess a wealth of knowledge regarding post-16 educational opportunities that are available for children and young people with SEND.

Coffee and Cake, informal, chat, advice and support.

Refreshments provided. We can also provide expenses support (mileage or public transport) or any childcare costs although children are more than welcome. Contact – Admin@eypcf.co.uk to let us know that you’re joining us.

Supported internships - A webinar for parents and carers of young people preparing for adult life  

Thursday 18 May, 10.30am - 12.00pm (on Teams)

Join us to learn more about supported internships and how they can benefit your child. This online event is particularly designed for parents, carers, and representatives from Parent Carer Forums. During the webinar, we’ll hear personal experiences from past supported interns and employers, and see how they benefited from the internship.  We’ll also hear from a government representative explaining how the government supports more young people with SEND into work. 

To book a place please go to the booking form here

For further information please go to our webpage here https://www.ndti.org.uk/news/webinar-spotlight-on-supported-internships

*Supported internships are study programmes for young people, aged 16 to 24, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and want to move into employment, but need some extra support.  They provide work experience for young people with disabilities so they can gain skills and develop in confidence. In brief, supported internships give young people an opportunity to take their first steps into the world of employment, build skills in the workplace, gain qualifications, and use these to potentially get a paid job.  

The next bulletin will be on Thursday  25 May 2023. 

If you would like to submit information, news or events for inclusion in the next bulletin, please email us BEFORE 12 NOON on Wednesday  26 April 2023.
