Preparing for Adulthood Resources

What is Preparing for Adulthood?

Preparation for Adulthood (PfA) is the umbrella term used to describe the support and pathways that young people with SEND should consider when thinking about their future aspirations and goals. Young people with SEND, who may not follow the same path as their mainstream peers, need to be given the time and information to make good choices about their adult lives. If the young person is likely to need support after education, it is important to explore options and get the right provision in place from health and/or social care. Young people and their families need to understand the options open to them and how these important transitions can be managed most effectively. We have created this toolkit to support you in making the best decisions about your young person鈥檚 future.

Preparation for Adulthood covers four main areas and it is these that we ask you and your young person to think about, particularly when reviewing plans and thinking ahead to life beyond school:

Work and Employment
Friends, Relationships and Community
Independent Living
Remaining healthy
