Over the past 10 months, Sheffield City Council has been working in partnership with the Sheffield Parent Carer Forum, and through engagement with parents and carers, to coproduce a new Preparing for Adulthood – Transition Guide for young people with SEND.
The guide gives information for parents and carers about things to think about as young people with special educational needs and disabilities move into their teenage years and into adulthood. It covers from Y9 (age 13/14) to into adulthood (up to 25 years old). Information includes:
• What should happen when
• What services are available
• Where to find out about different opportunities
• Where to get help if you need it.
The guide is on the Local Offer website here.
