Devon’s SEND Local Offer

Young people in care

Year 9, 10 and 11

Your social worker will help you and your family create a plan for transition when you reach fourteen, which is normally in year 9.

If you are likely to need support from adult social care, your social care worker will usually be the person who talks to you about completing a transition assessment. Sometimes it might be your Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) who identifies that you may need adult social care support.

As you approach 16, your social worker will start to complete a pathway plan with you, ready for when you turn 16.
