Overview

This leaflet has been given to you to provide information on how your child/young person will move on to Adult Services. 

What is Preparing for Adulthood (Transition)

Preparing for Adulthood is often referred to as transition to adult services and means “change”. Preparing for adulthood involves a longer time to plan and discuss important issues for you as you grow up. This could be around what your child would like to do for work, friends, relationships as well as their health needs.

The health team will work with you and your child to identify what information you may need in order to support your child as they get older and move to adult services.
