Pathfinder Support

We will be providing support to Pathfinders that are working on the Preparing for Adulthood strand of work (transition). This support will form part of the wider Pathfinder Support Programme. Mott MacDonald have been appointed as the pathfinder support team.

All pathfinders will be covering transition in their development of a 0-25 single assessment and education, health and social care plan and 10 pathfinder sites (15 local authorities) will be looking at preparing for adulthood in depth with support from our team.

We will develop a tailored programme of work with each pathfinder, aimed at developing the 0-25 plan, increasing local provision, working closely with families and young people, focusing on outcomes and using resources effectively to ensure that young people move into adulthood with jobs, independent living, good health and social inclusion.

Menu of Support

We have put together a 'Menu of Support', designed to support pathfinders to be able to address Preparing for Adulthood's top ten messages and implement and test the proposals in the SEN and Disability Green Paper Support and Aspiration.

The menu contains workshops that the Preparing for Adulthood team can provide. They are not set in stone. They can be adapted to meet local needs and will evolve as we learn more from our work with SEND pathfinders.
