Webinar recording: Transitions to adulthood

This webinar, recorded in July 2019, looked at how important it is that social care professionals support older teenagers to plan for their move into adulthood.

Too often, those who face the greatest challenges also have the least help. That’s why The Children’s Society has recently worked with several leading charities to put together “Transitions to adulthood” – a collection of essays on different areas of life that challenge young people as they move into adult life.

And a new SCIE report looks specifically at the role of social workers in supporting young people with learning disabilities and related needs as they prepare for adulthood.

Speakers at this webinar:

• Iryna Pona, Policy and Research Manager – Youth at Risk, The Children’s Society
• Sarah Hegarty, London Area Manager, The Children’s Society
• Tony Hunter, Chief Executive - Social Care Institute for Excellence
