Although it is a legal requirement that all young people over the age of fourteen with a statement of special educational needs have a transition plan, a third of young people surveyed in one study did not have a plan. Education and social services are often not working well together in transition planing. There is also poor coordination between children and adult social services. Young people who are disabled and in placements out of their local area are particularly likely to experience inadequate transition planning.
