Answer

As part of the End to End (E2E) Review of Special Educational Needs (SEN), a series of engagement events took place with young people who were going through (or had gone through) the transitions process and parents/carers.

The Education Authority’s (EA) Transitions Service engages with young people during annual reviews of statements, school leaver events, careers appointments and transitions visits.
