There was little variation in the sample <strong>of</strong> young people <strong>with</strong><br />
regards to who helped them prepare for what they would do<br />
after Year 11. Some <strong>of</strong> the key differences between young<br />
people <strong>with</strong> statements <strong>of</strong> SEN and those <strong>with</strong>out relate to the<br />
help they received from school staff (more prevalent amongst<br />
young people <strong>with</strong> statements than those <strong>with</strong>out), the role <strong>of</strong><br />
friends, partners and other family members (seemingly greater<br />
for young people <strong>with</strong>out statements than those <strong>with</strong> them),<br />
and the help they received from the SENCO (young people<br />
<strong>with</strong> statements have reported more frequently that SENCOs<br />
had helped them in their post-<strong>16</strong> transition than those <strong>with</strong>out<br />
a statement). Broadly similar patterns can be observed for<br />
young people who attended special schools when compared to<br />
those in mainstream schools.<br />
There were very few major differences according to the SEN<br />
type in the help young people received to prepare for their<br />
post-<strong>16</strong> activities (Table 4.14). <strong>Young</strong> people <strong>with</strong><br />
communication and interaction difficulties and those <strong>with</strong><br />
sensory and/or physical disabilities appeared to be more<br />
likely than young people <strong>with</strong> cognition and learning<br />
difficulties, and behavioural, emotional or social development<br />
needs to have received help from school staff. <strong>Young</strong> people<br />
