3. Leaving School The last PIP said: • leaving school is a big change in someone’s life and people should be supported through leaving school and becoming an adult. What have we done? • the college have appointed a transition worker • we have brought a group together to look at the issues for people leaving school • the SAY reps from Advocating Together have been talking to people who have just left or are about to leave school to find out what they think • An event was organised for people to get more information • we have established a Transition Group. What do you think? • people think it is important that school leavers are well supported as it is a highly stressful time for them • people need support to prepare for the future including further education, training, day and leisure activities, supports for daily living and short break services. A range of opportunities and choices is needed. After fulltime education, which is wholly funded for young people, there are high expectations of future support which can be disappointing • it is good that school leavers are receiving services but there is a need for significant service development • more information is needed regarding the transition to adulthood. PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010 11 3
3 What improvements do we plan to make over the next three years? • a transition sub group of the PIP implementation group will take the work forward • we will implement the recommendations of the SAY group report on transition • we will improve information and include information about specialist health services and about the benefit system and how benefits are affected by further education and employment • we will develop procedures and pathways to improve the experience of transition and promote equality of opportunity and diversity • we will organise opportunities for young people to try out adult resources • we will look at the possibility of identifying a transition budget by reconfiguring budgets • we will develop resources that will support people in their life choices. 12 PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010
