Transferring to Adult Social Care Services

Moving from children’s services to adult services is often called transition.

When we talk about transition, we mean the time when a young person, who has care and support needs, moves from childhood into adulthood.

Life for adults can be different to life for children. It is important that you have the right information, at the right time, to make sure you’re preparing for adulthood.

From Year 9, at school, you should start thinking and talking to others about:

  • what jobs you might like to do when you're an adult
  • your options for education or training
  • your future goals
  • where you might want to live and how to be as independent as possible
  • things you want to do in your community, like your hobbies, interests and meeting friends
  • how you're going to be as healthy as possible.
