All young people need help when they are getting ready to leave school to think about what might happen next.

Transition is about change.  This might be:

• change from school to college;
• from school to training or work; or
• change from school or college to some other type of daytime activity. 

It might even be about planning longer-term changes, like moving on from the family home to somewhere of their own.

Transition is also about the change from Children’s Services to Adult Social Care.  Usually, when someone reaches 18 or 19 any social care and support services they have will transfer to Adult Social Care.  Sometimes the help and support someone gets will be a bit different.  The people who plan and organise things will also change.
