The Ombudsman for Children’s Office (OCO) has received a number of complaints concerning young people who have been refused a place in their school’s Transition Year (TY) programme; some due to behaviour, mental health or disability. Parents, and young people themselves, are concerned about a lack of transparency when it comes to how TY places are allocated.
OCO In Focus: Fair Access to Transition Year details the OCO’s work in this area, the concerns we have, case studies from young people and the Department of Education response.
