Background

We're working in partnership with health colleagues, the Parent Carer Council (PACC) and other professionals to review Shropshire’s ‘preparation for adulthood' process, and we'd welcome views from young people, their parent carers and professionals on their experiences of transition planning from year 9 onwards.

The Children and Families Act Code of Practice says that from year 9 young people with SEND and an education, health, and care plan (EHCP) should be supported with high aspirations for the four areas of preparation for adulthood (PfA), and helping young people understand what support is available to them as they get older.

The four areas of PfA are:

1. Higher education and/or employment
2. Independent living
3. Participating in society
4. Supporting good health in adulthood

Please note: some questions have multiple options and each option will require an answer. The following error message will be displayed if questions aren't fully completed - please complete to be able to go to the next page.

Your views are important and integral to the outcomes of this review and thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
