Supporting Young People with SEND: Preparing for Adulthood

Navigating the transition to adulthood can feel overwhelming for young people with SEND and for their families. This free interactive workshop is designed to equip parents and carers with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to support their young person in planning for the future.

Who is it for

This session is most relevant for parents and carers of young people aged 13 and over, though early preparation can be beneficial.

What to expect

From the workshop, you can expect:

• practical guidance on key areas such as education, employment, independent living, health, and finances
• interactive activities to help create a personalised action plan
• the opportunity to ask questions and discuss real-life scenarios

Before attending, participants will receive a resource pack to help explore their young person’s views, wishes, and aspirations, ensuring they remain at the heart of future planning.

Session details

This is a four-hour interactive workshop with breaks.

Takeaway

By the end of the session, participants will have a clear, action plan to help their young person take their next steps into adulthood with confidence.
