Transition
Transition is a time in your life when you are growing up and getting ready to leave school and start college.
Transition planning: leaving school
Transition planning meetings are held at school.
In this meeting you will:

They have lots of exciting courses.
They will talk to you about your needs and look at how they can meet them.
You will have a transition plan to help you go to college.

If the college cannot meet your needs, your education advisor will help you look for other colleges.
If you are interested in further education, education specialists will make the final decision with you.
Social workers will support you around your social care needs.
If you have a social worker they will refer you to Adult Social Services.
We will decide if we are the right team for you.
If we are the right team for you, a transition social worker will get to know you and find out what matters.
They will:
