Planning for Adulthood: Support options, housing, personalisation and transition to adult services
These information packs are aimed at families faced with their relative’s transition to adult services or moving from one type of care placement to another. It is hoped that they will provide the tools families require as they start to plan for future support and opportunities for their relatives, including education, housing, employment and community involvement for the individual. The main topics covered are:
- Person centred planning
- Changes to rights at adulthood
- Choices
- Funding
- Safeguards
- Frequent challenges
- Who can help
Times of change are hard work. The key is to plan ahead and start as early as you can! Information is essential and this pack has been put together so that you don’t have to do this on your own.
