Careers education in Somerset – Imagine the Possibilities

Preparing for adulthood can be an exciting time for many young students. There may be new opportunities, choices and increased independence, but it can sometimes be difficult to access all the information that students and their families might need to make informed decisions.

To help you with this, an innovative range of new post-16 options resources have been created that will help you support your students to understand and navigate the processes involved in moving from school into the many different post-16 options that are available – especially for those with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities.

This set of resources have been created by drawing on experience of working with young people and families over many years and we hope that you find them useful and interesting.
