Preparing for adulthood
Preparing for adulthood (PfA) supports young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and their families, plan for the transition into becoming an adult. Access to Work is a publicly funded employment support programme that aims to help more disabled people start or stay in work. A supported internship is a structured study programme aimed at young people aged 16 to 24 with a learning disability and an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP), who want to move into paid employment and need extra support to do so. There are a range of housing and support options available for young people with SEND. We would like to support young people to find the right home to live an independent life. Where this is not possible, Bolton has a range of support services offered by the Council and its partners. We want young people to be supported to manage their own health as they move into adulthood. Lots of people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), find it helpful to use a Health Passport. This includes having friends and supportive relationships, participating in, and contributing to, the local community.Preparing for adulthood
