Transitions is what social services call the time when a young person goes from Children and Young People's Services to Adults' and Community Services. Transitions starts when a person is 14 years old or in year 9 at school. It will finish when they are 18 or 19 years old.
Transitions can be a difficult time. There are a lot of changes that happen when you grow up. The transitions process tries to help make these changes less confusing.
Transitions planning is an important part of the transitions process. It is when you sit down with your family, your teachers, your care manager, your GP or health professional and plan the next few years.
This plan is important as it will take you from being a young person to being an adult. It will say what your aims and plans are for the future.
