Transition from children’s services to the world of adult services is often a complex and daunting time for young people and their families.
Getting it right at the early stages will help the young person to settle into a seamless phase of their life which for the best of us, is fraught with anxiety as we move from being dependent on our families to making key decisions for ourselves.
Some local authorities get it right most of the time though the impact if it goes wrong can be catastrophic and difficult to undo once the young person has moved into adult services
Our Associates have significant experience in the area of transition planning for young people moving into adult services. They understand that sometimes people just don’t want to engage at this stage in their lives though they may need to be offered the opportunity to receive services regularly in case they change their mind.
The mapping of the ‘transition list’ needs to be held by one key agency so that they are able to pull together all the strands that make up the services offered to young people to enhance their lives.
