Our February 2022 Forum - Preparation for Adulthood - Slides from the presentations.
Jo Southall • February 16, 2022
Our face-to-face Forum was a success!
Great to hear about Preparation for Adulthood and Supported Internships in Cheshire West & Chester. Special shout out to Dom who shared his experience of a supported internship leading to paid employment.
Also great information from Gill Tyler (Designated Medical Officer for CWaC) about the importance of a healthy lifestyle to prepare our young people for the transition to adulthood.
Thank you to all of you who came and for the professionals who presented, despite the impending Ofsted inspection.
