Transition Services

Transition services help young people move from children’s to adult social care. These services can help with a range of areas, including:
Health and social care, mental health, education, financial benefits, work, and housing.

Essential Support

The Transition Service helps individuals who qualify to transition into adult social care. The team conducts a Needs Assessment to determine the appropriate adult care package. This plan is implemented before the individual turns 18, ensuring all necessary support is ready for them upon adulthood.

There is a lack of a clear pathway for young people stuck in limbo from the ages of 14 to 18. They are trapped in safety plans and assessment outcomes that they have outgrown and cannot receive a new care package before turning 18.  

But we have a solution. Thanks to our managerial capacity and close relationship with our sister company, Advanced Child Care Assessments, we bridge the gap between children’s and adult services and support individuals throughout the process. Our robust support system promotes efficiency and communication to deliver fast and proactive care through quality assessments 

Here’s How We Can Assist

– Strengths-Based Approach: Our Independent Social Workers (ISWs) provide a safe, supportive environment for young adults to express their views and make informed decisions about their future. 

– Involvement and Rights: We explore options for the individual’s involvement in care planning, financial management, and tenancy responsibilities, empowering them to take control of their future. 

– Educational Health Care Plans: We review existing care plans to ensure they remain applicable and effective as the individual moves into adult services. 

– Capacity Assessments: We assess the individual’s ability to consent to their care and address any restrictions that need consideration.

Our Approach

Mental Health Transitions:

A smooth shift to adult mental health services involves collaboration between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and adult services, with family involvement being vital to ensuring continued support.

Planning for Work and Housing:

As individuals transition into adulthood, assistance may be needed to secure employment and suitable living arrangements. We work with Disability Employment Advisors and local authorities to provide tailored guidance and support housing options that may be available for those requiring care while fostering independence.

Benefits and Financial Support:

Our Independent Social Workers operate closely with legal professionals to ensure assessments meet the case’s needs. We provide precise, concise assessments that can be easily integrated into legal arguments, and we are available to offer expert testimony or further clarification if needed.
