A consultation survey to gather views on the draft Bristol SEND and Inclusion Strategy 2024 to 2028 is open. Let us know your views by Monday 28 October 2024.

Find out about and download transition packs for autistic children and young people.

These autism transition packs have information and resources to support children and young people on the autism spectrum, who are moving to a different education setting in September 2020.

There are four sets of transition packs based on age. Each set has:

  • Bristol Autism Team transition plan
  • resources for professionals
  • signposting information for parents and professionals

The current Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) should complete the transition plan with the new SENCO and parents and carers. It's good to start planning for transition as soon as possible. If you're unable to meet physically due to restrictions, you may be able to have a virtual meeting. 

Someone from the Bristol Autism team can attend the meeting if the child or young person is registered with them.
Email Bristol.Autism.HotLine@bristol.gov.uk to arrange.

If the child or young person is not registered with the Bristol Autism Team, the team can provide informal advice.
Email Bristol.Autism.HotLine@bristol.gov.uk.
