This free online webinar looks at how important it is that social care professionals support older teenagers to plan for their move into adulthood.
Too often, those who face the greatest challenges also have the least help. That’s why The Children’s Society has recently worked with several leading charities to put together “Transitions to adulthood” – a collection of essays on different areas of life that challenge young people as they move into adult life.
A recent Children’s Society report looks at outlines steps that Government departments and other agencies can take to improve transitions for young people. 
Alongside that, a new SCIE report, launched on 24 July, will look specifically at the role of social workers in supporting young people with learning disabilities and related needs as they prepare for adulthood.
