1 Developing the Isle of Wight Transitions Pathway from children’s to adult education health and care services

2 Introduction: The “transition years” when young people move into adulthood, is recognised as being difficult and stressful for many young people. Children and young people experience a range of transitions between peer groups, schools, services and systems of care and support. It is essential therefore that there is a young person and carer focus to all transitions work, that this is part of the core business of child and adult services and is an integral part of every young persons education health and care plan.

3 Setting the Scene: There are approximately 460 young people aged between 14 and 18+ on the Isle of Wight with an Education, Health and Care Plan or Statement. 302 of these young people access secondary school and 158 are at the Isle of Wight College which is the only education provider on the island post 18 for young people with SEND.

4 Joint Working: To ensure that transitions are seamless and make sense for young people all services need to be actively engaged in the delivery of a local multi-agency pathway and protocol which are understood and signed up to by all agencies. The pathway and protocol should be underpinned by the following principles: The transition plan should be coproduced by the young person, family/carer and professionals The service offered to the young person should be that which best meets their needs. The young person (and their carers if appropriate) should be involved in the choice of the service where possible.

5 Aims of the Pathway: The Isle of Wight Transitions Pathway for Young People with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) needs to ensure: That the Young Person has a timely, planned, co-ordinated and positive progression from childhood to adulthood. Professionals from both adult and child services work together with the young person and their family. Consideration of the young persons views and that of their family on their concerns, their social or emotional development and their ongoing future health and support needs when deciding which service best meets the needs of the young person. The young person’s eligibility for services and the most appropriate adult service is established prior to their 18th Birthday and where there is not going to be an ongoing service provided for the child or young person, this is made clear and the child or young person is signposted where appropriate to alternative means of support. Responsibility for provision of resources and any funding implications must be clear prior to transfer.
