Personalised Transition

The Centre worked with schools and strategic partners in Yorkshire & Humber to develop a radical new model of how transition should work for families and young people with disabilities.

This new model, which has gone on to be adopted by central Government in England, involves giving families budgets for social care, education and health and supporting them to design the best pathway for themselves through school and into adult life.

Key outcomes of the project included:

• Publication of Personalised Transition describing the ground-breaking work at Talbot School, Sheffield
• Publication of a Fair Start, a key policy paper outlining the underlying thinking
• Development of Pippa Murray's Real Wealth model
• Support to schools and families across Yorkshire & Humber to adopt and develop this new model

This work was carried out with the support of Yorkshire & Humber’s Joint Improvement Partnership.
