Transition Planning that Works

# data[].attributes.body
Some parents of young disabled adults  come up with creative solutions to combat the lack of suitable services available.

Kate Sainsbury shares her story on how she was able to create a home for her son who was placed in a hospital.

# data[].attributes.body
ENABLE Scotland's #MyOwnFrontDoor Campaign vision is to end the discrimination faced by people with learning disabilities, and to ensure that they have the choice of living in a community of their choice.

# data[].attributes.body
Some parents of young adults with disability who have found that not enough suitable services were available have been able to use their Direct Payments to rent a community hall as a group, purchase the necessary equipment, and employ carers. This allows the young people who know each other from school to meet up once or twice a week and to continue socialising with each other. This also gives the parents more say into what activities their young people engage in. On other days of the week, the young people might be receiving care at home, or at a day centre.

What do you think about this as a potential solution for some of our pupils? Do you have any similar ideas?

Would you be interested in learning more about Adult Services Providers in and around Edinburgh?

If so, would you prefer to visit the services in person, have a virtual tour, or receive leaflets and newsletters about various services?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi all,

I am hoping to start issuing a monthly Transition related bulletin, starting next term!

Each bulletin will discuss one topic.
What topics would you like covered?

Welcome to PCLS which has been set up as a contribution towards supporting, informing and guiding parent carers who live in Scotland through the process of Guardianship.

Being a parent carer can be a very fulfilling role in life, bringing out the best in people. That doesn't make it easy though! Parent carers have to learn lots of skills, find sources of information, and communicate with different agencies on lots of different topics. Becoming multi skilled in this way is pretty daunting.

If you need help do not hesitate to call us. All first interviews by telephone, video call, or in person are free and we assess all clients for legal aid - if you qualify we will get legal aid for you. Parent carers' lives are busy and sometimes restricting. If it is more convenient we are happy to consult with you after hours at a time that suits. There is no extra charge for this.

We are also happy to deal with occasional queries from Guardians who may need simple guidance on decision making from time to time.

New style employment and support allowance | Disability Rights UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
New style employment and support allowance (ESA) is a flat-rate benefit. It is not affected by any savings or other income you have, except for occupational or personal pensions. Unless you are put in the support group, payment of new style ESA is limited to 12 months.

For the first 13 weeks of your claim, the 'assessment phase', you are paid the basic allowance. This depends on your age:

Once you have undergone the work capability assessment and have been found to have a limited capability for work, you will move onto 'main phase' ESA. With this, you will get the basic allowance, plus a 'support component' if you are put in the support group

New style ESA is included in the list of benefits to which the benefit cap applies. This cap limits the total weekly benefits that can be paid.

The cap will not apply if you have been placed in the support group
