Islington's Progression to Adulthood service The Islington Progression to Adulthood pilot champions early intervention and strengths-based approaches, addressing previously unmet needs, whilst also extending services that currently end at 18 years old. Getting young people onto the right pathway as they begin their journey into adulthood, and ensuring they have the right support in place can prevent the later escalation of need into Adult Services.

 

The Progression to Adulthood team complete Adult / Care Act assessments with strengths-based support plans. The multi-disciplinary team works closely with young people and their support networks including carers, education & health, and social prescribers. This is a service for young people who are Care Act eligible though are not learning disabled, as there is a specialist team based at Islington Learning Disabilities Partnership (ILDP) for this support. You can access the team's services by completing the referral form on this page.
