Research indicates that young people from BME communities have a less positive experience of transition than the rest of the population. Therefore local areas need to ensure they are providing support which helps all young people achieve their aspirations. The skills and resources required to meet the needs of young people from BME communities can be translated into work with all young people. For example, engaging and accessible information is useful for everyone. The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 places a statutory duty on all public sector bodies to promote racial equality in the implementation of public policy. This guide is designed to help local areas to provide the best support in transition planning for disabled young people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities as they make the transition into adult life. The aim is to provide information, highlight the differences in planning for disabled young people from BME communities and share examples of good practice from across the country.

This is a guide to developing a protocol that sets out the roles and responsibilities of all agencies in a local area that support disabled young people and their families in their transition to adulthood. A strategic transition protocol is needed to ensure that services are brought together, with a clear and transparent commitment to making the transition process work. Developing a clear, strategic, multi-agency, agreed protocol on how local services work to meet the needs of disabled young people in transition to adulthood can transform the effectiveness of local support. A protocol should be developed with all partners involved in transition, including disabled young people and their families to ensure that it is relevant and realistic, and that partners will take ownership and responsibility for the part that they play. The first section of the guide identifies areas that should be taken into consideration prior to developing a protocol. The second section looks at what needs to be included in the protocol. The third section looks at what needs to happen after the protocol has been developed. The fourth section looks at how a transition pathway should be developed and how it should reflect the commitments in the transition protocol.

This booklet aims to stimulate thinking and ideas, and to enable youth professionals to reflect on how to better include disabled young people in the initiatives and duties set out in Aiming High for Young People: a ten year strategy for positive activities (AHYP). Disabled young people have the same hopes and aspirations as other young people, and often barriers to achieving these are also the same. However, what may be different – and requires creative and collaborative thinking, are the solutions to those barriers. Youth services will need to examine and adapt their ways of working to ensure that disabled young people can actively influence and benefit from the opportunities offered in the strategy Aiming High for Young People. True influence and inclusion is not something that will occur through quick fixes but through a considered approach to changing the attitudes and structures that underpin practice.
