Launch of Transition to Adulthood guides

Today, Revolving Doors Agency (RDA) is launching two guides which form part of their work with the Transition to Adulthood (T2A) Alliance. Both focus on services for young adults with multiple needs; 16-24 year olds who experience a number of vulnerabilities such as mental health problems, drug and/or alcohol misuse, homelessness and contact with the criminal justice system.

Aiming Higher is a good practice guide for practitioners working with young adults with multiple needs. It was compiled using the views of young adults and a range of professionals who work with them every day.

Towards a Shared Future is a guide for commissioners, informed by policy analysis and interviews with those with responsibility for planning and delivering services.

The guides show how getting support right for young people at this crucial age can make a big difference, with better life chances for the young people themselves, and major savings for the public purse and the tax payer.
