Recommendation 35
35
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 134
SEND pupils receive insufficient careers guidance; the SEND Improvement Plan missed an opportunity.
Conclusion
It is clear that pupils with SEND have particular need of high-quality, tailored CEIAG provision, and worrying that these young people are more than twice as likely as their peers to have received no careers guidance at all. It is positive that the Department is piloting extending Supported Internships to pupils without an EHCP, but the SEND Improvement Plan was a missed opportunity to further improve CEIAG provision for this group.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government expresses delight about the Supported Internship pilot to extend the programme to pupils without EHCPs. It details the pilot's scope and timeline (autumn term to March 2025) and commits to carefully considering national rollout after evaluation.
