Transition to Adult services
Transition Social Workers provide information to families when they are involved, either when they attend the young person’s annual reviews in school and/or when they are fully allocated to work with them.
Members of the Transition team have attended/liaised with various regular carer groups to answer questions, including Sutton Parents Forum and Learning Disabilities Action Group.

Learner Support
You can let us know if you want support when you fill in the application or enrolment form for your course, or by filling in a support referral form at your interview or in a tutorial. If you have a learning difficulty assessment document, special educational needs statement or Education, Health and Care plan, please provide copies of these with your form as they might help us get additional funding for you.
After your application you'll meet with one of our support specialists who will assess your needs. We'll tailor a support plan for you which - with your permission - will be sent to your teacher and other relevant staff. If you have a medical condition or physical disability you'll also receive a health and safety plan.
