Preparing for adulthood
This information is to help young people and their family or carers plan for the future and prepare for adulthood. This section can help your son or daughter to become more confident and develop their independence as they become an adult.
In Northumberland, we are committed to supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) to live their best life.
​
In preparing children and young people for adulthood, we will ensure they are able to:
-
have choice and control over their lives and support
-
live independently and have housing options
-
stay healthy and well
-
form friendships, relationships and be included in the local community
-
access employment and volunteering opportunities
Explore these core areas of preparing for adulthood in the sections below.
