Preparing for adulthood
From 14 years if your child has an Education, Health and Care plan EHCP) and is in year 9 or above, the annual review should look at preparing for adulthood and the transition pathway.
If you are wondering about what happens when you turn 18, don’t worry, if you are already open to a children’s services team or have an EHCP in place, they will submit a referral on your behalf to the adult social care team before you turn 18.
If you are not sure if this applies to you or you would like more information please visit our transition to adulthood page.
If a young person is not currently open to social care, their parent or carer can make a referral to the intake team via adult customer services on 01522 782111
