Help to cope with change
People who can help
Parents/carers can play an important role in helping their child or young person prepare for transition.
They can also support their child or young person to think of the other people who could help, for example, family and friends, teachers, transition or guidance advisers or a social worker (if they have one). The young person could ask these people to join a circle of support.
TITAN (Travel Independence Training across Norfolk) offers a range of opportunities for young people aged 10 (Year 6) to 25, both in school and the community, to supporting effective transition to travelling independently.
If specialist help and support is needed to plan for the young person, it may be appropriate to make a referral for the preparing for adult life (PfAL) service.
