This infographic, ‘The Transition Timeline (Action Plan),’ offers a trauma-informed visual guide for professionals, foster parents, and social workers navigating the critical transition of children in care from age 16 to 18. It highlights the importance of early conversations about adulthood, the significant ‘cliff edge’ at 17.5 for formal transition planning with Adult Services, and the pathways at 18 for ongoing support via Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) or General Practitioner (GP) discharge. This framework is crucial for ensuring placement stability, safeguarding, and positive long-term outcomes for vulnerable young people.
