Local Offer
Please note that the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) is no longer delivering the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) programme and helpline, as the contract with the Department for Education came to an end in March 2022.
A selection of popular tools and guides from the PfA website have been added to a dedicated area on NDTi's website here. The PfA website will serve as a resource archive for as long as possible; but it is recommended that if you are adding links to your own resources or webpages, that you use NDTi's website as those links will remain active.
