Progression beyond school is variable for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities - Ofsted

23 Aug 2011

Too few young people with learning difficulties and disabilities progress from school to complete programmes that will help them live independently, undertake further study, or gain employment.

An Ofsted report published today, Progression post-16 for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, found that learning opportunities beyond school for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities varies considerably between local areas. There was insufficient provision available for learners with the highest level of need, and the current placement system resulted in significant inequities in the provision available for learners with similar needs.
