Abstract

This paper explores some considerations for supporting post-16 education and training providers in supporting Service children. Drawing on the findings of a pilot research project to explore the perceptions of sector leaders regarding Service children, it highlights the general diversity of the post-16 sector and emphasises the need to take account of the specific contexts of different providers. The post-16 sector is not homogeneous; providers in the sector respond to a range of different educational needs and adopt different purposes in so doing. Furthermore, approaches designed in the context of schools are unlikely to translate directly to post-16 settings; support needs to be designed to take account of the particularities and circumstances of providers.
