Steps to prepare for adult life (PfAL)
Making a PfAL plan
From when your young person is aged 13-14-years-old, they should think about their main goals and wishes, and the outcomes they would like in:
- Education and employment
- Independent living
- Good health
- Being part of their community
- Having friends and relationships
If your young person has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, this should be recorded in their Year 9 preparing for adult life (PfAL) review.
You may have a worker from the PfAL service. If you do, they will also help you through a 'preparing for adult life conversation'. This may involve agreeing on a PfAL plan together.
You can also use the planning tools listed in step two.
