transition to being an adult

When your child is young you make most of the decisions for them. But as your child gets older they begin to make decisions for themselves. This can be a particularly difficult time, especially for parents of disabled children.

In the Parent Information Pack you will find a leaflet on transitions for parents of disabled children. We will be adapting this leaflet for the website. In the meantime you can download a copy. You can find out more information on transitions on the Cambridgeshire County Council's transitions page.

The Cambridgeshire County Council Transitions Team has set up a parent forum. Parents have told the Transitions Team they want better information on transitions. The Transitions Forum has elected 2 parent representatives to be members of the Transitions Partnership Board and have organised Talk about Transitions events to provide opportunities for parents and carers to meet face-to-face with service providers. For more information on the forum, email Claire Bailey one of the Transitions Team Managers. You can download parent representatives' reports and 'Talk about Transitions' reports from the Transitions Partnership Board page.

Parents who dropped in to our Parent Zone at Mayhem 2009 had lots of questions about transitions.
