The transition from childhood to adulthood is often a difficult time of change for many young people and especially those with a disability or special educational need. There are many decisions for a young person and their families to take regarding the future.
This can be a complex stage as support from agencies such as health, education and social care can change from the age of 16-18 and it is important to start preparing for adulthood as early as you can.
Preparing for Adulthood Guide
We are currently in the process of updating our “Preparing for Adulthood guide”, in light of the creation of a new dedicated 2025 Adults transitions team and other important improvements to how we work together.
This will be available here as soon as it is complete and will give you information on health, education, accommodation, how to remain independent, community access and more, to ensure that we can support you the best possible way.
Transition Coordinators
Sefton Council has two transitions co-ordinators who work with young people from the age of 14-25 years old.
They provide a person-centred approach when working with young people to create a transition that is clear to all involved and represents the views, opinions, and choices of the individual.
To contact the transitions coordinators, email the Preparing for Adulthood inbox or call the office on 0151 934 3079.
