Description:
Navigating the transition to adulthood can feel overwhelming for young people with SEND—and for their families. This free interactive workshop, run by SENDIASS and hosted by Learning Services Worcestershire, is designed to equip parents and carers with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to support their young person in planning for the future.
Who is it for?: This session is most relevant for parents and carers of young people aged 13 and over, though early preparation can be beneficial.
What to Expect:
- Practical guidance on key areas such as education, employment, independent living, health, and finances.
- Interactive activities to help create a personalised action plan.
- The opportunity to ask questions and discuss real-life scenarios.
Before attending, participants will receive a resource pack to help explore their young person’s views, wishes, and aspirations, ensuring they remain at the heart of future planning. It might also help you to download the Preparing for Adulthood Checklist that SENDIASS have created. Please find that in the Additional Information.
Session Details: This is a four-hour interactive workshop with breaks.
Takeaway: By the end of the session, participants will have a clear, actionable plan to help their young person take the next steps into adulthood with confidence.
