At The Lady Byron School, we believe that all young people should have equal life chances as they move into adulthood. We must ensure ‘no one is left behind’.
This should include paid employment and higher education, housing options and independent living, good health, friends, relationships, community inclusion and choice and control over their lives and support.
LBS see the importance of preparing our young people for life, and as such we work directly with students to ensure they are ready and feel equipped and confident to move on to then next steps in their journey.
To support this, we introduce several person-centred resources to support this learning.
These include:

A vocational profile is a person-centred approach to finding out what a young person wants to do and provides an opportunity to understand what a person is interested in and to explore why. If we do not complete a vocational profile, then we do not know enough about a young person in relation to their aspirations for work and to get the best match of a job for them.
Careers Planning
In addition to using the Preparing for Adulthood Framework we also incorporate careers planning / advice in several ways, for example:
“Where Autism is a strength not a weakness.” – The Lady Byron school is an independent specialist in Leicestershire, working with students with a diagnosis of Autism and an Education and Health Care Plan.
