Moving between children’s to social care services for adults

When either a child or a young carer approaches their 18th birthday, they may ask for an assessment. A parent or carer may also ask for an assessment as the child they are caring for approaches 18.

As in all assessments, local authorities will need to consider the needs of the person, what needs they are likely to have when they (or the child they care for) turn 18, and the outcomes they want to achieve in life.

Please visit Children with disabilities to view preparing for adulthood information which explains the move between children’s social care services into adult social care services.
