Transition to adulthood - moving from Children, Schools & Families to Adult Care Services

Children, Schools and Families understand that the transition of a young person into adulthood is an extremely important time.

What is Transition?

If your child has a statement of special educational need because of a disability, you will know that this is reviewed every year to make sure that the statement remains appropriate.

When a young person is in year 9 the review of their statement of special educational need includes a Transition Review. This means that during the Review all the people involved will consider what services the young person may need when they leave school and help them to leave.

Purpose

The purpose of transition is to draw together information from parents/carers and professionals in order to plan with the young person for their transition to adult life (SEN Toolkit).
