Managing change in your child or young person’s life

Transition is a process or period of change. We have provided information about how Wolverhampton children and young people are supported to start attending an educational setting, move between settings or when a young person prepares to move into adulthood. It can be a time of uncertainty and we understand that transition can be a tricky time for our children and young people but with the right support they can develop the resilience and skills needed to be successful.

To support transitions, we have created some guidance and support pathways for

  • Starting Nursery
  • Starting Primary School
  • Starting Secondary School
  • Moving between educational settings
  • Beyond school

Here you will find out more information about Transition.

Connexions have produced a helpful guide for young people with SEND and their parent or carer to view that includes getting ready for Preparing for Adulthood.

Wolverhampton Information, Advice and Support Service have produced helpful guides about choosing a school and Transition Tips for parents and carers. 

You can also contact the service if needed for further advice by visiting

The City of Wolverhampton Council’s Educational Psychology Service offers a free remote consultation service to parents/carers living in Wolverhampton, and also to parents/carers of children or young people in the care of Wolverhampton Local Authority. This support includes helping parents and carers with emotional wellbeing, mental health advice for you and your family. As well as SEND related advice and how you can support your child through transition.
