This summary is intended for use by anyone in children’s social care
looking to introduce new practices and approaches to meeting
the needs of complex adolescents in and on the edge of care.

This guide will help local areas to develop the Preparation for Adulthood elements of their Local Offer.
It provides ideas and suggestions for what to include in the Local Offer so that it supports young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) as they prepare for and move into adulthood. It aims to help young people achieve better life chances as intended by them.

The engagement and participation of children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), and their parent carers is at the heart of current legislation and guidance. This Learning Example is from Dudley, Hertfordshire, Kingston and Richmond and Leeds, who have been working on the strategic engagement of young people and their parent carers as part of their work as PfA demonstration sites.
