Making the transition
This conference is about supporting the transition into learning and adulthood for young adults leaving care. The emphasis on the day is about transition into adulthood, training and further education and will focus on what might be referred to as the step before higher education, when young people are dealing with the practicalities of their lives, including seeking further education and training.
