About this website

Scotland's transitions knowledge hub

The transition to adulthood is an important time. But too many young people with additional needs have poor experiences that have a lasting impact on their lives.

There are common challenges in getting transitions right: limited resources, lack of joined-up working, unclear systems, and complex legislation.

This website aims to help practitioners solve these challenges. It hosts an extensive range of up-to-date resources about transitions legislation and policy, guidance, services and tools.
You can filter information to find the resources you need, relevant to your sector and work.

The transitions knowledge hub is an essential tool for all professionals working with young people with additional support needs in Scotland.
