The transitions planning team supports young people prepare for adulthood, working closely with those people who are important to them, along with statutory services covering health, education, children’s social care and the voluntary sector. We recognise that preparation for adulthood is a time of celebration, change, choice, decision-making and challenge for all young people.

We aim to work alongside families and professionals to empower young people to recognise and achieve their aspirations and desired outcomes, promoting them having increased choice and control over their lives, and improved connectivity with their local community as they approach and enter adulthood.
