Transition
The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 considers young people aged 16 or 17 with a disability to be ‘in need’. Local authorities have a duty to provide services for these young people, such as social work assessment and support, or provision for additional support needs in education.
If a young person aged 18 or over needs community care services, the local authority’s social work department should assess their needs and provide services.
In all planning for young people leaving school:
•the relevant people from the social work and education departments should already be involved
•a plan should be in place for the transition between education and adult life.
Contact your local social work department for more information.
