Help to cope with change

Leaving school to go to college or work is a big step. It needs lots of planning, which normally starts when the young person is 13 years old.

The preparing for adult life (PfAL) section of our website  has been written as a guide for parents/carers who have a child or young person age 14-25.

The most important person to be involved in planning ahead is the young person. They should be in control and supported to make their own choices.
