An online guide for local authorities providing advice on what they need to do to maintain EHC (education, health and care) plans for 19- to 25-year-olds with special educational needs and disability (SEND). Although young people with SEND are not automatically entitled to maintain their EHC plans after they turn 19, some may need more support to complete their education and training and successfully transition to adulthood. The guide provides advice on how to support 19- to 25-year-olds to meeting their educational and training needs, such as a finding supported internship, access further education; access to funding for those with no EHC plan; supporting a young person’s health and social care; and including young people in decision making.

This guideline provides practice advice for the care and support for adults with learning disabilities as they grow older. It covers care and support in all settings and aims to support people to access the services they need as they get older. The recommendations cover support needs, assessing and managing health needs, planning for the future, and supporting access to services including health, social care, housing and end of life care. The recommendations advise health and social care workers to help organise regular health assessments for older people with learning disabilities and to giving people with learning disabilities clear and regular information to help people get the help they need and prevent late diagnosis of age-related conditions. It also advises local authorities to ensure there are opportunities for people growing older with learning disabilities to socialise and be active in their communities. (Edited publisher abstract)
