Delivering support and aspiration for disabled young people
The Preparing for Adulthood programme has launched a new guide to help local areas improve their services and support for disabled young people. The guide is called 'Delivering support and aspiration for disabled young people'. It sets out the learning from the Preparing for Adulthood programme about how to deliver the special educational needs and disability (SEND) reforms for 14-25 year olds.
The guide is aimed at everyone who works with and for disabled young people. It aims to help local areas use the SEND reforms to support disabled young people to move into adulthood with choice and control over their lives and support.
The Preparing for Adulthood programme list 5 key elements that are essential to improving life chances and there is a section in the guide dedicated to each of these areas:
- Develop a shared vision
- Raise aspirations
- Personalise your approach
- Improve post-16 options and support
- Plan services together
