Transitions to adulthood strategy: statement of intent
This statement of intent summarises the research and engagement to date on Scotland’s first National Transitions to Adulthood Strategy, and sets out what the Scottish Government has heard it should focus on in order to improve the lived experiences of transitions for Scotland’s disabled young people.
Vision
Our proposed vision is that 'disabled young people feel happy and confident in the transition to adulthood, and are empowered and supported to control their own path to success'.
Many young disabled people express optimism and excitement about the future and are keen to move on to the next stage of their lives, but need support to be more empowered, listened to and to be able to direct the transitions process.
In order to achieve this, disabled young people must receive the high quality and timely planning, care and support they need to transition effectively and with continued optimism. Planning should be person-centred; taking account of young person's needs and aspirations and should support them on the path to whichever goals they choose for themselves.
