Why do we need the Transition Information Network?
Disabled young people, families and professionals all identify disparate, difficult to access and dated information as one of the main barriers to a successful transition.
We need TIN to provide a first point of contact for anyone needing information about the transition process.
Many pieces of legislation and guidance cover the transition process. They are from areas including; education, social care, health, transport, leisure and employment.

Across the four nations there are many innovative projects and examples of multi agency working which provide excellent services for disabled young people.
