Preparing for Adulthood - Cornwall Council's Transition Team
Services and organisations that have the Local Offer flash have filled out inclusion information, meaning that they meet the needs of people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Our transition workers help children and their families or carers make the transition to adult care and support.

Your transition worker will try to see you when you are 16 years old to help you think about the support you might need when you are an adult.
