The Care Act 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014 capture the principles of personalisation, inclusion, participation and co-production in law. Both the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Care Act 2014 deal with support for young people with care and support needs preparing for adulthood. These two pieces of legislation now provide the context in which transition occurs. This course gives focus to young people whose support services will start to end during adulthood and those who will be transferring into the adult care estate. Learners will explore all elements that contribute to a successful transition including entering adult services and leaving care. Through discussion we will think holistically about each individual child or young person being supported to ensure that practitioners make the connection of wellbeing, safeguarding and quality of life when completing planning for and supporting the transition. Throughout this course professional codes, regulating conduct, legislation and systemic practice is embedded.

This course will help learners understand the stigma that can be attached to mental illness and what professionals can do to support. They will have an increased understanding of the link between parental mental health and child protection and be familiar with models of assessment and remain child focussed and help recognition and practical intervention.
