Steps to prepare for adult life (PfAL)

Making a PfAL plan

From when your young person is aged 13-14-years-old, they should think about their main goals and wishes, and the outcomes they would like in:

Education and employment
Independent living
Good health
Being part of their community
Having friends and relationships

If your young person has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, this should be recorded in their Year 9 preparing for adult life (PfAL) review.

You may have a worker from the PfAL service. If you do, they will also help you through a 'preparing for adult life conversation'. This may involve agreeing on a PfAL plan together.

You can also use the planning tools listed in step two.
