You can do this during the annual review process. The SEND Code of Practice, 2015 (paragraph 8.9 to 8.12) makes it clear that in annual reviews from Year 9 onwards, LAs must include a focus on preparing for adulthood.  The planning must be based on the individual’s "aspirations and abilities, what they want to be able to do when they leave post-16 education or training and the support they need to achieve their ambition". 

In terms of who can provide advice and information, this can be any professional who is involved with the child or young person and familiar with their needs and can include the educational setting the child or young person attends as well as social care and health care professionals. It is also a good idea to check your LA’s ‘SEND Local Offer’ for details of any teams you can contact for advice and support with preparation for adulthood and independent living and ask them to contribute to the annual review process.
