A session led by Royal Borough of Greenwich Virtual School staff to enable Designated Teachers and supporting staff to meet their statutory duties in schools and colleges with a focus on Post-16 Children and Young People.

The session will focus on how to support Children and Young People with preparing for adulthood and transitioning to further education, employment and training.

Practitioners will:

• understand the role of the virtual school in supporting the education of children in care including new responsibilities 
• understand the main responsibilities as a Designated Teacher
• look at some of the barriers that impact upon our children’s learning
• look at strategies to help children with their learning
• support and prepare our vulnerable children and young people with transition

 Settings will:

Designated Teachers for Looked After Children and delegated staff, pastoral staff and SENCOs
