The purpose of this research was to look at the experiences and educational outcomes of pupils in Northamptonshire with a statement of educational need for hearing impairment.  Initially the focus was on transition from the end of compulsory education, with a view to identifying any improvements that might be made to the transition process.

The study has enabled students to highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of their experiences of Secondary school and their transition to post 16 destinations. Locally, services and provision for deaf pupils are being reviewed. At a national level radical reforms to schools and reviews of entitlements for disabled and SEN pupils are taking place. This study provides an important local snapshot which can be used to plan and evaluate any new services, provisions and arrangements for deaf pupils.

The Post 16 Student Evaluation Form has been prepared by the Oxfordshire Service for students to provide structured feedback on their learning and support experience at college.

The Post 16 Impact of Interventions Log has been prepared by Oxfordshire to monitor and evaluate interventions devised to address identified gaps in a student's progress/development.

A form for recording/tracking young people's post 16 progression.

The Tracking Post 16 Outcomes report was prepared following an investigation into possible outcomes measures for inclusion within the NatSIP Outcomes Benchmarking exercise.
