Post-16

In response to the ‘Stable Homes consultation’ and commitment of Post-16 PP+ Cambridgeshire Virtual School has established the ‘Achievement into Adulthood Team’. This team ensures all Cambridgeshire children in care up to the age of 18 and/or the end of their Year 13 academic year are engaging with well-matched education, employment or training that supports them to thrive into adulthood. We work closely with professionals and establishments to make sure that our young people have access to and are included in education or training that matches their interests, abilities and aspirations and are supported to ensure that policy and practice enables the best outcomes for all our young people.

Our offer for post-16 includes:

Training opportunities and resources (see training and resource section) for all Designated Professionals and other key partners (carers, social workers, etc.)
Ongoing guidance and quality assurance of the PEP process so that it continues to be a meaningful tool which ensures the needs of the young person are met

Bespoke careers information advice and guidance as appropriate
