Transition is the time from age 14 to 25. It is the time leading up to the point where someone turns 18 and moves from one set of services to another, from children's services to adult services. It also covers the time of leaving school.

We have made an information pack to tell people about transitions.  You can download the transition information pack here, and you can download the easy read transition information pack here. If you want a printed copy of the information pack, please contact us.

There are other organisations that can give advice. One of them is CXL Connexions who work with young people still at school. They have a website - www.cx-lancs.org.uk. Their phone number is (01254) 267780 for Blackburn or (01254) 707551 for Darwen.

The 'Transitions Subgroup' is part of the Partnership Board.  The subgroup looks at what's already in place to support young people as they approach the age of 18. It also comes up with ideas to make things better.

The Transitions Subgroup has helped to ask for money to pay for 'person centred review' training. This training is now taking place. It has asked for the money to print an information pack. The money has been agreed.

The group helped to write and edit the information in the Transitions Information Pack.

The group is now starting to look at how all those services involved in transition can work together to make things better for young people and their families.
