Planning for transition to Adulthood

Transition and change

Transition from school to adulthood is a time of celebration, change and challenge for all young people. It involves lots of thinking and decisions about:

• Work and getting a job 
• Continuing education and training
• Where to live and who to live with
• Personal relationships and having a social life

This transition is about the change from being a teenager to an adult. It includes the change from Children's Services to Adult's Services and from school into adult life.
