Episode 23 – Answering Your Questions: Apprenticeships, SEND, and Post-16 Choices

In this Q&A episode, we’re joined again by Nana Otrit from SEN Bytes to tackle some of the big questions parents and teachers are facing right now:

Is an apprenticeship a good fit for a teen who isn’t academic?
What if you don’t agree with the college your local authority has named for your child with SEND?
Why is work experience getting harder to secure—and what can parents do?
How do you support low-attaining SEND students without losing hope?

We also explore how to know if a child is truly ready for the workplace, the hidden impact of resilience, and why preparation should start long before Year 11.

This is an honest, practical conversation for parents navigating big decisions—and for educators trying to support them.

💬 “Any progress is still progress. And any preparation is better than none.”
