Home & Away: Planning Tool

A tool to help plan a positive transition from residential schools and colleges to moving back home.

Home & Away is an editable tool to help with planning arrangements for young people at residential schools and colleges to ensure a positive transition back home.

This resource is designed for partners from education, health and care sectors who are involved in supporting young people to return to their home areas on leaving residential school or college. It will be of most direct use to staff working in residential schools and colleges and local authority representatives (such as SEND Case officers, Preparing for Adulthood Coordinators and SEND reviewing officers). While it is more geared to professionals, it may be of interest to parent carers and young people who can use it to ask questions about the process they are experiencing or will go through in the near future.
