Moving from childhood to adulthood, moving from one education setting to another and moving from children’s to adult’s services, moving from the family home into supported living are all transitions. The young person’s hopes, wishes and aspirations for the future are kept central to the planning process.
A person-centred transition action plan focuses on the young person, what is important to them for their future and what support and actions are needed for them to achieve their outcomes and have a successful transition.
Transition is not a single event. It is a gradual process during which your child/ young person should be supported throughout their childhood and into adulthood to build up their confidence and ability to manage the care and support they need where they have capacity to do this. Every child and young person’s transition pathway looks different.
