What is the Transition Support Programme?

Aiming High for Disabled Children (AHDC), launched in May 2007, is the government’s transformation programme for disabled children's services in England.

One of the issues identified in AHDC was that more work was needed to improve and co-ordinate services for disabled young people in transition to adult life. To address this, the government announced the Transition Support Programme, which would aim to raise the standards of transition in all local areas.

The Transition Support Programme consists of two main elements:

  • The National Transition Support Team, which will coordinate the work with local authorities, PCTs and regional advisers and existing experts; and 

  • Support for change at local level through a combination of direct grants and regional adviser activity.

The Council for Disabled Children and partners are working as the National Transition Support Team for the Transition Support Programme. Please contact us if you would like further information.

 

Please note that we are not resourced to give direct advice to families and disabled young people. Please visit the links page for organisations that provide information, advice and support.
