The project will run from October 2001 to March 2004. It has two main aims:to develop a multi-agency and seam-free approach to transition into further education and training for young people with complex needs, andto investigate ways of providing transitional services for these young people who challenge service providers because of:low incidence in a local area;complex and variable individual needs, and the likelihood of extended transitional needs across a number of agencies.A Steering Group, representative of all relevant agencies, will advise the project, take decisions and inform their own sector of implications and developments of the research.
