<p>We want all children and young people, no matter what their special educational
need or disability (SEND), to reach their full potential and receive the right support
to succeed in their education and in their transition to adult life. The SEND Code
of Practice explicitly states that all children and young people with SEND should
be prepared for adulthood and that this preparation should start early.</p><p> </p><p>Governing
bodies must ensure that all registered pupils at the school are provided with independent
careers guidance from year 8 to year 13 and every school must publish details of their
careers programme for young people and their parents. The department has published
statutory guidance for schools to help them meet this duty: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/careers-guidance-provision-for-young-people-in-schools"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/careers-guidance-provision-for-young-people-in-schools</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>In the event of suspected non-compliance with the duties and statutory guidance,
parties involved should first try to resolve the matter and if a complaint remains
unresolved, the department’s officials have the power to intervene.</p><p> </p>
