  2. Aims What is 16+ Learning Choices? How is the local authority delivering 16+LC? What is the school role? What is the Guidance Teacher’s role and responsibilities? What is the Risk Matrix? How do we use it? Why should we use it?

  3. 16+ LC Policy and Practice Framework This framework is for all partners who are involved in planning for and delivering the Senior Phase of CfE. It sets out the Government’s policy on 16+ Learning Choices; its expectations for implementation; and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of all partners involved in supporting young people to progress into positive and sustained post-16 destinations. http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/publications/0-9/publication_tcm4626427.asp Putting Learners At The centre: Delivering Our Ambitions For Post-16 Education http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2011/09/15103949/15

  4. 16+ LEARNING CHOICES – WHAT IS IT? It is a guaranteed offer of a place in post-16 learning for every young person who wants it. It is the Scottish Government model to help young people stay in learning post-16, since this is the best way to ensure their long term employability. Critically, 16+ Learning Choices will help prevent and reduce youth unemployment.

  5. 16+ LEARNING CHOICES – WHAT IS IT? The offer of a place should be given well in advance of a young person’s leaving date and before leaving any subsequent episode of learning in the Senior Phase. The offer should focus on personalisation and choice and reflect the individual young person’s needs and aspirations. The offer should encompass relevant support to ensure the young person has made a well informed realistic decision and to encourage them on the path of lifelong learning.

  6. 16+ Learning Choices focuses particularly on those young people at risk of moving into a negative destination; builds on wider activity to support young people needing more choices and more chances; and embraces the principles and practices around GIRFEC and the Additional Support for Learning Act. Above all else it requires multi-agency collaboration with robust systems and shared processes to provide the right learning and support for ALL young people.

  7. 16+ Learning Choices Model Contains 3 critical elements: the right learning the right support the right financial support

  8. LOCAL AUTHORITY ROLE Provide leadership and direction The action plan for delivery should fit the SOA model for the LA and articulate with proposed CfE implementation

  9. SCHOOL ROLE Primary partner for delivery of 16+LC Need to work with partner agencies to ensure diverse range of opportunities for yp staying in school post-16 Build upon existing post-16 transition planning to help yp make a WIRD about their transition plans.

  10. Senior Phase (Approx 15-18) In the senior phase all young people can expect the entitlements to be delivered, whatever their individual interests and needs, wherever their learning is taking place. They are entitled to: a curriculum which is coherent; the opportunity to obtain qualifications as well as to continue to develop the attributes and capabilities of the four capacities; opportunities to develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work with a continuous focus on literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing; personal support to enable them to gain as much as possible from the opportunities that Curriculum for Excellence can provide; and support in moving to a positive and sustained destination beyond school.

  11. Measuring the success of 16+LC The success of 16+ LC will be measured on the basis of an appropriately agreed offer of a post-16 learning. A place on a waiting list does NOT count as an offer.

  12. Why is all this important? • Tackling youth unemployment • Raising the bar and closing the gap • Early and ongoing intervention • Driving improvement • 15%of young people don’t sustain a positive destination • 36,00016-19 year olds are NEET • 19%of 16-24 year olds are unemployed

  13. It’s also about...... Effective transitions and post 16 options which are critical to improving young people’s long term employability The right learning environment The right support from a wide range of partners The right financial support Understanding the needs and circumstances of young people
