Since leaving a main stream school the only option offered to my daughter appears to be a foundation course in colleges which seem to operate segregated systems of education. I would like info on further education and work opportunities for 16 year old with learning difficulties in the Kirklees area. Has or is anyone experiencing the same problems?
