Young people who have moved from children to adults’ services but do not attend their initial meetings or appointments are contacted by adults’ services and given further opportunities to engage. To oversee and implement the principles of transition as identified below: Transition support should be person centred and ensure they are an equal partner in the planning of their care choosing pathways which meet their needs. Transition support should be strength based and focuses on what is positive and possible for the young adult and their carer/family. Assessment and planning should focus on goals with the young adult, which may include education and employment, community inclusion, health and well-being and housing needs. Carers and families need to be at the centre of transition planning, but it is important to ask the young adult how they would like their carer/family to be involved in the transition. Transition should be based on need not age. Ensure transition support is developmentally appropriate and considers the persons maturity, cognitive abilities, psychological status, long term conditions, social and personal circumstances, caring responsibilities and communication needs. Where the young person is autistic and/or has a learning disability along with a co-morbid mental health need, the transition processes and associated assessments and interventions should be reasonably adjusted to meet the young person’s needs. Young adults absolutely should not be forgotten or forced to begin the assessment/transition process again. Young adults may need to be able to dip in and out of services there needs to be flexibility and understanding in the system for ‘did not attend’ (DNA). Health and social care services should work together in an integrated way to ensure smooth transition, avoiding the proliferation of separate plans for specific sectors. Consideration of special education needs and education health care plans. This advert closes on Sunday 18 Oct 2026
