Wider Support

We will work with local areas in England around supporting young people in preparing for adulthood. We are currently developing a menu of support and will be making contact with every local area in England in the first few weeks of 2012.

We will organise a programme of events to enable peer to peer learning between local areas.

There are existing regional groups that come together to share information and good practice around transition. We are gathering information about these groups that will be added here. In the meantime if you have any questions about these groups please get in touch. 

Letters

Letters have been sent to all local areas about support from the Preparing for Adulthood team.

Menu of Support

We have put together a 'Menu of Support', designed to support local areas to be able to address Preparing for Adulthood's top ten messages and start to look at 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.

We will be holding five events around the county to help people map progress and identify what further support is needed. We will then be supporting local areas in clusters on identified topics.  Local areas will be encouraged to bring small teams of decision makers and representatives from family forums.
