National Transitions Strategy for Young Disabled People: Digital Resources Workshop 

Tools and supports available to practitioners working with young disabled people and their families.

The Scottish Government Transitions Team is hosting a sector wide online workshop focused on digital resources, tools and supports available to practitioners working with young disabled people and their families. This session will bring together national partners who deliver key actions under the National Transitions to Adulthood Strategy for Young Disabled People 2025–2030. 

About the National Transitions to Adulthood Strategy 

Everyone supporting young disabled people plays a crucial role in preparing and planning for transitions into adulthood. Scotland’s National Transitions to Adulthood Strategy was published on 30 June 2025 and aims to ensure every young disabled person feels confident, empowered and supported to control their own path to success. The Strategy is delivered in partnership with COSLA and is underpinned by ARC Scotland’s Principles of Good Transitions, which emphasise early planning, person led approaches and coordinated support.
