Young people with learning disabilities encounter significant
difficulties on transition from school and from child to adult
health and social services.
In the last 10 yrs there has been some recognition of this e.g.
appointment of Transition Co-Coordinators in all ELBs and
some HSCTs.
Parents and young people have identified deficits in:
❖ Integrated planning across agencies and across programmes
of care.
❖ Person-centred planning
❖ Consistency in Provision across NI
❖ Access to information
❖ Participation of young people in decision making.
