Local Offer

Sense have produced a series of materials to support young people who are deafblind or multi-sensory impaired (MSI) to make the transition to adult life.
There are a range of materials for young people, parents and carers and professionals.

Website from the Information Advice and Support Network has been developed to support disabled children and young people and those with SEN to understand their rights in accessing information, advice and support across education health and social care.

The transfer of post-16 education funding to local authorities and the introduction of personal budgets add both opportunities and complexities to the transition process.
Accurate financial forecasting based on a good understanding within adult social care of the numbers, needs and aspirations of young people coming through transition are now more essential than ever.

This document reports on the transition work undertaken in the Getting a Life programme, which ran from April 2008 to the end of March 2011, as part of the Valuing People Now employment work. Getting a Life was set up to look at the support needed by young people with a severe learning disability to achieve paid employment and full lives when they leave education.
