The Moving Into Adulthood Handbook
| The Moving Into Adulthood Handbook This handbook is primarily for family carers of a young person with a learning disability and/or autism and professionals who are going through or supporting someone from the ages of 14 – 25 (with an EHCP) through the Moving into Adulthood stage.…and even if the person you support is younger …or older, you may still find some of the chapters helpful. Each chapter focuses on a different area and gives an overview of what you need to know as you and your family member navigate your way through the Moving Into Adulthood stage including further resources that you may find helpful. The Handbook is designed to be a dip in and out resource – we wouldn’t recommend reading it all at once but we hope you will find it informative and useful.And please do get in touch if you have any suggestions, or a link doesn’t work, or we’ve missed something you think should be included. It has been checked but things change and we know, even we can get things wrong. |

Questions for family carers to ask support providers
These Questions for Family Carers to ask Support Providers are based on the Reach Standards which are an essential tool in helping support providers to meet their responsibilities to support people to live an ordinary life.
Adult Social Care Act Needs Assessment
To see if your relative is eligible for support from adult social care a Care Act Needs Assessment will need to be completed.
It is now possible to complete a form online which can be accessed through the Adult Social Care Information and Advice Hub on the county council website. However, you can still request a face to face assessment if you would prefer.
OxFSN have produced a set of guidelines about what you need to consider when completing a Care Act Needs Assessment which can be downloaded by clicking on the links here:
The Adult Social Care Act Assessment form can be downloaded by people wishing to prepare in advance of an initial Care Assessment or follow-up review.
