Recent Information on the "Transitions" conference mentioned in Mike's email.
This is now fully subscribed ... in fact, there's a waiting list of 150 people!
I would suggest getting in touch with the conference organisers at Pavilion (Mike gives details) to be put on the waiting list. They are currently thinking of doing a London repeat event in February in light of demand. There will also be a repeat event in Manchester on 28th March (also organised by Pavilion).

Dear Tamsin,
I have just graduated from the University of Warwick with an MA/Dip. SW
and I spent much of my final year working on transition issues for young
disabled people including their statutory move from children to adult
services. In fact my final dissertation was concerned with transition
for young disabled people and in particular from a further education
setting to 'independent living'. I would be happy to send you a copy by
post if you let me know your contact details. If you think that a copy
of the bibliography only would be more useful then I can do that
instead.
In case you were not aware, there is a conference on October 16th at the
London Voluntary Sector Resource Centre, on the Holloway Road, London,
organised by JRF/Pavillion Publishing. The conference is entitled 'What
works for young disabled people and their families at transition?' and
there is a range of really good workshops and seminar sessions on offer.
There may be a few places left (telephone enquiries on 01273 623 222).
There has been some excellent research done recently in this area,
primarily by Jenny Morris (1999/2000) and I can supply you with these
references if you wish. I also note that last weeks 'Community Care'
magazine, had a feature on how Southampton Council have developed their
multiagency transition services - it may be worth contacting the team
directly (Hilary Corrick - Policy Officer - 02380 833101).
If you would like me to forward you any more information, please do not
hesitate to e-mail me off-list.
With best wishes
Amanda Adams
