This consultation runs from Monday 26 October to Monday 7 December 2026.
The strategy sets out a clear vision for ensuring that all young people, including those with additional needs, experience a sense of belonging in education and are supported to achieve positive outcomes in adulthood. It brings together education, employment, health, transport and wider services to create a coordinated approach that helps young people move successfully into further education, training, employment and independent adult life.
The draft strategy has been developed using local data, engagement with young people and parent carers, feedback from education and training providers, careers services, and partner organisations. It outlines 4 key priorities:
- Engagement, early intervention and improved outcomes for children and young people
- Effective transitions and preparation for adulthood
- Raising quality and accountability across further education
- Transparency, sharing and effective use of data
The strategy also supports Leicestershire’s wider SEND and Inclusion Strategy and Belonging Strategy, with a strong focus on partnership working, early support, inclusive opportunities and improving life chances for all young people. Read the draft strategy:
