About the National Transition Support Team
(NTST)
The Council for Disabled Children and partners
are working as the National Transition Support Team for the
Transition Support Programme.
The partner organisations are: ACT (Association for Children’s Palliative
Care), ARC (Association for Real Change),
The Children’s Society,
NCERCC (The National
Centre for Excellence in Residential Child Care),
National Autistic Society,
National Children’s Bureau,

The National Transition Support Team and the
Council for Disabled Children are based at the National Children’s
Bureau.
The National Transition Support Team has three
main roles:
- Drive and shape the programme in local areas
through work with regional advisers, and disabled young people and
their families;
- Engage with and exchange good practice in
transition through websites, targeted information sheets and other
resources to help build capacity; and
- Identify the support needs of local areas and
work in partnership with regional advisers, the Department for
Children, Schools and Families and the Department of Health to
improve transition practice.
