Bath College to host Preparing for Adulthood Fair

On Thursday 14 TH November from 4-8pm Bath College’s Somer Valley Campus will be hosting the event supporting teenagers with special needs to prepare for adulthood.

A collaboration of Bath and NE Somerset’s special schools, Fosse Way, Three Ways and Bath College will allow parents, carers and young people to explore services in the local area. This brings together employment, healthcare, community and independent living options which have previously been exhibited separately.

The fair will give the opportunity for young people and their carers to chat to providers about what is best for each individual and how to access the services.  Stand holders include Curo Independent Living Service, Dimensions HealthCare, The Life Project and Mencap Supported Employment Team.

Jo Stoaling, Head teacher at Three Ways School comments that “Knowing what your choices are and who is able to support you through a time of transition is vital.  At Three Ways, we aim to support the young people and their carers through transitions and give as many relevant options as possible.

“The fair showcases some of the options local to our families and gives a chance to start thinking about ideas.”

Julie Knight from the Bath & NE Somerset Inclusion Team says “We want to start as early as possible to explore independent living options and pathways to employment, as well as the support and healthcare the young people will have available as they move into adulthood.”

Sally Eaton, Head of Inclusion at Bath College says “We are delighted to invite so many different providers to Wellow House, the new SEND Centre at our Somer Valley Campus at Bath College.  It will be a great opportunity for young people with SEND and their families in B&NES to see what is on offer so they can start to make plans for their future.”

The event is free and fully accessible with plenty of parking and refreshments on offer and open to the public from 4-8pm.
