does this mean we are not going to have a transition topic now for post 16 ?

Not sure we get what you mean, threesocksmorgan. Can you give us a bit more info?

Right, OK, see what you mean now.

This is different, though, to what we proposed on the discussion about rearranging SN topics here

Do you no longer agree that having a SN: Teens and Young Adults is a good idea?

We're sorry that the SN Topics reorganisation is taking longer than originally planned

@threesocksmorgan

tbh I think a new topic not linked to sn children would be good, and not hidden, it would be good to have people not from the sn world posting as they will have experience in things like your young person going away to college and things like that. I have ot say I didn't realise all that was going to happen was the teens topic was going to be re named. I thought there was going to be brand new topic. you can tell I don't go into sn children

Right. Well, there's obviously some confusion here. We did try to spell it all out in our post a while back.

So, to be clear, you're looking for a topic that's NOT in SN that's about transition for older children - whether SN or NT?

@threesocksmorgan

i noticed there is a new topic, something to do with starting up a business! so I really do not understand mn hq's reluctance

We're not reluctant. And we're really quite Shock that you might think that.

As we've explained before, several times, the other changes to the SN topics are pretty complicated, tech-wise. The SEN one, for example, requires us to make that topic accessible both from SN and from Education - which is a new thing for us, and so requires some back-end building.

This is being done but we're afraid it's not a three-second job.

We put the SN Teens and Young Adults topic change up ahead of the others because there were so many posts asking for it as a matter of urgency, and it wasn't as complicated as the other changes.

It's a real shame that this doesn't seem to be what you're after now.

Thanks for all these posts. Do keep them coming - I'm sure it'll help us all work things out.

One thing we think it's important to clarify, though: the SN section has several topics within it and one of those is SN Children (the others include the new Teens and Young Adults topic, the Parents with Disabilities topic, the Legal/financial topic and a few more).

We do sense (but maybe we're wrong!) that some folks do think the SN section is just the SN Children topic and nothing else...
