Supporting a young person's journey from childhood to adulthood is much easier if you know where you are going and how you are going to get there.  These Preparing for Adulthood events are designed to empower parents and carers of young people with special educational needs, providing information and tolls to make a positive progression into adult life.

Events will be a mixture of group presentations, individual workshops and a market place offering further support and advice from a variety of providers.
