Preparing for Adulthood Written Statement of Action

Ensuring the brightest possible future for all children and young people with SEND.

The recent Joint Local Area Inspection of Richmond's SEND services has identified Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) as an area of considerable weakness.  The Local Authority and Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) now have to submit a Written Statement of Action to outline the steps that they will take to remedy this. 

We want to make sure that the action plan reflects your experiences and your aspirations for your child. 

This survey aims to highlight what changes are needed in Richmond and how parent carers and young people can be involved in monitoring progress. 

Statistical data from this survey will be shared with the Local Authority and Clinical Commissioning Group, but individual responses and any identifiable comments will not be shared.  If you have more than one child with SEND you can complete this survey again for each child.  
1.What is the age of your child or young person?
2.Are they in education or employment at the moment? Please tick all that apply.
3.How are they supported?
4.Is your child or young person receiving the right level of support at the moment?
5.What are your hopes and aspirations for your child's future as an adult?

Examples might include "I hope my child will go to university and have a family of their own," "I hope my child will become independent with their personal care," "I hope my child will live independently."
6.What are your biggest worries about your child's future as an adult?
7.What support will be needed now and in the future to ensure your child achieves the happiest, healthiest and most fulfilled adult life possible?
8.What barriers do you think your child/young person will face on their journey to adulthood?
9.If your child has been able to express this, what are their dreams and ambitions for their adult life?
10.What support would help them to achieve this?
11.For many children, adulthood is still a long way away. 
Do you have any ideas about how to assess the success of Richmond's Preparing for Adulthood strategy in the short term?
12.How do you think that parents should be involved in monitoring Richmond's Preparing for Adulthood improvement plan?
13.Is there anything else that you would like to tell us?
14.Would you like to attend Preparing for Adulthood parent consultation sessions?
