Education
Schools or colleges will support children and young people to develop a person-centred transition plan from year 9 through to when they leave formal education. This 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 future and career aspirations and make the transition into adulthood. This is a live ongoing process and should cover the four areas of preparing for adulthood.
The transition plan templates are attached to this page. There's one version for mainstream settings and one for specialist settings. There's also a guidance document to help with completion of the transition plan.
The transition plan should be updated regularly and may include actions such as visits to colleges, universities, finding out more about housing, social care and health. This will also cover the qualifications they may need to access a course of their choice or to prepare for employment, and which agencies can provide support.
