Annual reviews for children in Year 9 or above

When your child or a young person is in Year 9 or above, annual reviews will focus more on preparing for adulthood. It's important to find out and record their views, wishes and feelings as part of this.

Where appropriate, the review should include how a child or young person will get ready for:

• employment
• independent living and housing
• friends, relationships and being involved in the community
• keeping healthy as an adult

Review meetings may include representatives from post-16 institutions such as colleges. This is so that they can get to know the young person and what works for them.
