Question
A move between school, college or post-school provision needs extra planning. Where can I find the relevant transition framework in the UK?
Transitions can fail when information, support and responsibility do not move with the learner, and the formal processes differ across the four UK education systems.
Current understanding
Identify the learner's nation and education stage first. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have distinct additional-support or transition frameworks in the reviewed signpost; England uses its separate SEND framework and existing ND Oracle routes. The combined resource is only a jurisdiction map and does not create one UK transition plan or entitlement.

Related questions
- No adjacent governed question has enough shared material yet.
What evidence is still needed
- A current England transition-specific first-party route to complement the existing SEND coverage.
- Implementation evidence about transition planning quality and participation across all four nations.
Where people may disagree
- Formal transition planning matters, but many practical failures happen at local implementation level and are not visible from national guidance alone.
When this answer should be revisited
- Any national additional-support/SEND framework materially changes.
- A stronger four-nation transition source matrix is governed.
Question provenance and review state
Four-nation education-transition signpost preserving devolved education frameworks rather than inventing a UK-wide entitlement.
