This toolkit explores how person-centred approaches can help effectively transfer statements and learning difficultly assessments to education and health care plans. The guide focuses on young people who are preparing for adulthood – those aged 14-25 who will be transferring from a statement of special educational needs (SEN) or are receiving support at college following a learning difficulty assessment. It provides suggestions of how to skill up the workforce and use information from EHC plans to inform commissioning and develop the market, explaining how to: have good conversations with young people about their aspirations; use person centred practice to develop good education, health and care plans and transfer statements and learning disability assessments to education, health and care plans; deliver preparing for adulthood reviews from Year 9 as described in the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice; achieve quality planning at scale and develop the workforce; and develop a strategic approach to person centred practice and preparing for adulthood pathways.

This factsheet identifies the key elements in the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Care Act 2014 that relate to preparing young disabled people for adulthood. It aims to support local authorities to identify where processes overlap and to consider how they can be effectively joined up. It explores how the legislation can be used to create positive outcomes for disabled young people, with consideration to challenges and barriers, and suggests practical ways of implementing the reforms in both Acts through good practice examples. Key areas discussed are: outcomes and wellbeing; assessment and care planning; joint commissioning and personal budgets; and information, advice and support. (Edited publisher abstract)
