Commissioners and practitioners working with young adults with multiple needs are today urged to “aim higher” and rethink their approach for young people moving from children’s to adult services. 

That is the central message of two new guides published today by Revolving Doors Agency as part of the work of the Transition to Adulthood Alliance (T2A).

Aiming Higher, a guide for practitioners, was shaped by the input of 43 young adults in London and Northampton and a wide range of professionals who work with them every day.

Towards a Shared Future, a guide for commissioners, was informed by policy analysis and interviews with those with responsibility for planning and delivering services.

The guides show how getting support right for young people at this crucial age can make a big difference, with better life chances for the young people themselves, and major savings for the public purse and the tax payer.

For full copies of the guides or to speak to Catherine Hennessey or to some of the young people involved in developing the Guides, please call Kemi Bamgbose at DHA Communications on 020 7793 4036, kemi@dhacommunications.co.uk.
