Research has shown that the statutory
processes designed to support young
people are experienced as confusing
and complex, and that there are too few
opportunities for young people leaving
school.

Valuing People (2001)
 Three main messages
have come out of
consultation with
disabled children:
 Treat us more like our
brothers and sisters,
 We want to do the things
other children do, not
always ‘something
special’, and
 Give us a chance to be
independent, get a job
and have a home.
SEN Code of Practice (2001)
 The role of parents as
key partners in
decision making
 The significance of
the young person
perspective

Transition to adult hood:
personalisation in
planning will require
increased access to
advocacy and
information; person
centred planning
approaches to be
used widely
Jan 2005
 by 2015, all disabled young
people and their families will
experience continuity and coordination in the services that
they receive, as both children
and adults. This will result from
their own increased control and
empowerment (through
mechanisms such as personcentred planning and
Individualised budgets)
October 2006
 Listening to children,
young people and
their families – and
providing a
personalised,
integrated response
to their needs is at
the very heart of the
Children Act 2004
2007
 Our belief is that all
people with learning
difficulties and/or
disabilities: have a
right to expect high
quality services which
are person-centred
and/or personalised
to meet need (pg 7)
Independence well-being and
choice 2005
 Services should be
person-centred,
seamless and
proactive
21 May 2007
 As part of any assessment
process, it will be
necessary to identify and
assess any risks involved in
supporting the person.
Person-centred planning
approaches identify what
is important to a person
from his or her own
perspective and find
appropriate solutions. We
commend personcentred approaches for
everyone.
2007
… deliver a Transition
Support Programme for
14-19 year olds, which will
promote joint working, a
holistic approach, and
include access to an
advisor or key worker,
advocacy and support,
and person centred
planning approaches.
pg18
Jan 2007
Person-centred planning
approaches should be
used, and in particular:
1) with transition plans
drawn up with adult
services from Year 9
onwards;
2) to co-ordinate
assessments and thereby
focus holistically on
young people; and
3) to ensure timely decisions
are agreed to avoid
eleventh-hour changes
to plans at the transition
deadline.
19 March 2008
 Planning is person
centred and needs
focused, identifying
the hopes, aspirations
and goals of the
young person who
plays an active part
in decisions about
their future.
Transition planning has as
its main focus the
fulfilment of the hopes,
dreams and potential of
the disabled young
person, in particular to
maximise education,
training and employment
opportunities, to enjoy
social relationships and to
live independently.
Transition plans take a
person-centred planning
approach. Pg 40
Working together 2008
 Participation which is
tokenistic or
unreflective will lead
to cynicism and
feelings of
powerlessness among
children and young
people.

 The Government wants a
society where all are
respected and included
as equal members of
society, and where
everyone has the
opportunity to fulfil their
potential. Public services

supported in meeting
their aspirations
