A rectangle, white image of translucent hands crossing. In the foreground and in the centre is a purple box with text, the text states, "Supporting Effective Transitions. Learn from the Inclusion Ambassadors about supporting young people in your setting as they prepare to leave school." At the bottom is the Inclusion Ambassadors logo, which is a circle of multi-coloured hands crossing each other, and the round Enquire and Reach logo.

The background is white and on the left side is a trail of teal shoe prints. In foreground is a teal box with text that says, "Transition from school. We asked the Inclusion Ambassadors for their views on preparing to leave school. The topics they discussed included: How transitions can make young people feel. Skills for independent living. Supporting young people’s decisions. Asking young people what they need support with.

An orange image with dark orange shoe prints going across the image. At the top is text that says, "Transitions. Here’s what they told us...." Below is a dark orange box which has white quote marks across it. In the centre of the box is a quote that mentions, "I got told it was going to be great and lots of fun which was the main bit of information. I felt unprepared."

Background is pink. At the top is text that says, "Supporting young people’s decisions. Here’s what they told us...." Underneath is a burgundy box with white quote marks and pink shoe prints. Within the box is a quote that mentions, "Ask the question – what is it you actually need? Talk through all the support and check that it works for me. Making the time to do that is really important, the acknowledgment that they understand is key."

What should good transition support look like?
 
This practical Inclusion Ambassadors resource shares reflective questions to support pupils as they prepare for what comes next.
