Destination Unknown: improving transitions for care leavers and young people with SEND

A lack of consistent and effective transition support for vulnerable young people when they turn 18 is leading to unacceptable poor outcomes, a new report has found.

Titled ‘Destination Unknown’, the Children’s Services Development Group’s (CSDG) report sets out the “cliff edge in support” care leavers and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) face when they leave care or specialist education, and the huge detriment this can have to their life outcomes.
