Young people in Special Schools have an element of protection while in school that is not necessarily available in the community or workforce. This means that the transition from school to adult life and employment can be particularly challenging. This bilateral partnership brings together two Special Schools to share practice in identifying and overcoming the stumbling blocks that young people face in making the transition from the school to adulthood. It will look at how develop emotional resilience to manage change, new experiences and the expectations of others, it will explore different approaches in the two contexts of the UK and Spain. The project will look at the role of the curriculum in preparing for adulthood, work placements and social opportunities, and information, advice and guidance. The target groups will be the 14-19 age range with a specific focus on Post 16.
