Preparing for Adulthood events
Essex County Council, in partnership with Essex Parent Carer groups, are pleased to announce a series of free Preparing for Adulthood events which will take place during March 2018.
Supporting a young person’s journey from childhood into adulthood is much easier if you know where you are going and how you are going to get there. These Preparing for Adulthood events are designed to empower parents and carers of young people with special educational needs, providing information and tools to make a positive progression into adult life.
The event will be a mixture of group presentations, individual workshops and a market place offering further support and advice. The events will be most beneficial to parents/ carers of young people aged 14 and over.
