Learning from one area applied to another

This paper explores the complexities of transitioning for disabled children and young people and their families, highlighting the inherent difficulties of life changes amidst varying structures, funding, and legislative frameworks. It discusses the role of the Transition Partnership Board, emphasizing the need for better understanding, shared vision, and the implementation of a Transition Health Check to tackle significant issues affecting outcomes. As local authorities and PCTs face financial pressures, the survival of partnerships and participation efforts comes into question, raising concerns over collaboration versus cost-cutting.

  5. Transition Partnership Board • Young people

  6. Transition one year on • Better understanding • Vision and Principles • Protocol • Transition health check  big issues affecting outcomes we agree we must tackle

  7. Question • As LAs and PCTs focus on cutting spending, will the arrangements we have all developed for partnership and participation (a) survive and (b) continue to serve a purpose?

  8. Current threats to Partnership and Participation • Retreat to silos: from collaboration to cost-shunting • Participation costs money but is not core business • Savings not optional – so why consult? • Power relationships laid bare • Mindset shifts from “involve in decisions” to “manage expectations”
