Completed
We're working in partnership with health services, the Parent Carer Council (PACC) and other professionals to review Shropshire’s ‘Preparation for Adulthood' process, and we'd welcome views from young people, their parent carers and professionals on their experiences of transition planning from year 9 onwards.

There are three survey links below - please select the one that relates to you and complete one per person.
The survey will be open until 31 October 2024.

  1. Young people 
  2. Parent carers 
Your views are important and integral to the outcomes of this review - thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.

Background

The Children and Families Act Code of Practice says that from year 9 young people with SEND and an education, health, and care plan (EHCP) should be supported with high aspirations for the four areas of preparation for adulthood (PFA), and should help young people to understand the support that's available to them as they get older.

The four areas of PFA are:
 
  1. Higher education and/or employment
  2. Independent living
  3. Participating in society
  4. Supporting good health in adulthood
