Dear Ms Miezite,
I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request of 21 March 2016. Your request and the councils response is as follows:
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I kindly request the following information regarding EHC Plans in the 2014/2015.
1. In the 2014/2015 school year, how many EHC Plans were issued for children/ young people transferring from school (including sixth
forms) to a post-16 institution or an apprenticeship?
45 – (this also includes a small number of pupils who transferred to a supported internship although the request only specifies post 16 institutions and apprenticeships.)
2. In the 2014/2015 school year, how many EHC Plans were issued after the 31 May 2015 deadline for children/young people transferring from school (including school sixth forms) to a
post-16 institution or an apprenticeship?
44- (this is due to the fact that in Salford we have a team of transition co-ordinators who complete the transition reviews and the team was only in a position to commence holding the reviews from January 2015)
3. How many appeals were made against the placement named in the EHC Plans for children/young people transferring from school to a
post-16 institution, in the 2014/2015 school year?
