Parents and carers may find that the teenage years can be turbulent as young people find their own identity. Preparing a young person for adulthood is everyone’s responsibility and it helps to start thinking about this transition phase early.

The preparing for adulthood pathway starts when a young person is in year 9 (13 or 14-year-olds) and continues until they leave education.

During year 9, there will be opportunities for young people and their families to talk about options for post-16 pathways. The following information is to help you and your child in preparing for adulthood and to make you aware of support that may be available. Transition support from other agencies may continue until the young person is 25.
