5 Transition of children to adult services policy 1. Introduction 1.1 This policy outlines the process for transition to adult services; the purposeful planned movement of adolescents and young adults with chronic physical, emotional and medical conditions from child centred care to adult orientated health systems (Blum et al, 1993). This includes children and Young people with Learning Disabilities or Children in Care who will need support to manage their own health. 1.2 Children and young people experience many significant transition points between health care services as well as between educational settings. All the transitional phases can have an impact on adherence to therapeutic regimes and retention by supportive health care services (RCN 2013) 1.3 The National Service Framework (NSF) for Children and Young People (DH 2003; DH/DfES 2006) recognises that transition should be a guided, educational, therapeutic process, rather than an administrative event. Effective transition must also allow for the fact that adolescents are undergoing developmental changes far broader than just their clinical needs. 1.4 It is recognised that transition plans may be led by another agency such as Local Authority and in these circumstances health providers may form part of a comprehensive, strategic plan of care. 2. Who does this policy apply to? 2.1 The contents of this document apply to all members of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust (The Trust) 3. Definitions 3.1 Healthy Child Programme 0-19 (HCP) (Southern Health Foundation Trust) 3.2 Health Visiting and School Nursing Teams A team of practitioners who work with a defined population to deliver services that promote the health and well-being of children, young people and their families.

Bluebird House is part of a national network of medium secure adolescent units and therefore patients originate from throughout the country. All patients at Bluebird House are detained under the Mental Health Act. 3.6 Leigh House: Leigh House is a Tier 4 Adolescent Psychiatric Unit that provides inpatient care to 12 to 18 year olds who present with significant mental health difficulties. The majority of patients originate from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Some of the patients will be at Leigh House on an informal (voluntary) basis, and some will be detained under the Mental Health Act. (1983) 4. Duties and responsibilities 4.1 Clinical Directors / Divisional Directors / Area Managers / Matrons / Ward & Unit Managers Must actively manage staff to ensure that they understand and comply with this policy and procedural guidance Must ensure that resources are available in order for staff to work to the policy and procedural guidance detail Ensure that staff receive appropriate training in accordance with the identified training needs analysis Monitor staff compliance with each section of this policy and identify any concerns arising and take action appropriately. 4.2 All Clinical Staff: Must work to and comply with this policy and its associated procedures Must ensure that they receive appropriate training and are competent to undertake the procedures as detailed Identify any issues of concern in relation to the use of the policy and bring this to the attention of their line manager in a timely way. 6

7 5. Overarching Principles 5.1 Transition should be planned in advance of a young person s 18 th birthday. There should be support before transfer, support after transfer and training and development for staff as well as infrastructure to support transition. This will vary between agencies and in mental health be through a CPA coordinator. 5.2 Children and Young People themselves should be involved in the planning and delivery of health services or have support from an advocate. 5.3 Identified agencies involved should work together to share expertise, complete joint assessments and, where appropriate, pool resources. 5.4 Timing of transition Although transition is governed by the child s age at 18 from CAMHS to Adult Mental health it is recognised that not all young people will be ready to make the transfer to adult services at the same time; this will depend on their cognitive and physical development, emotional maturity and state of health. Transition should be developmentally appropriate. 5.5 Transition should be encompassed into service specifications and commissioning arrangements. 5.6 Transferring Care a named worker should be identified from the lead agency with responsibility for monitoring the child or young person s health, social, psychological, educational and employment needs. It is the responsibility of all agencies to ensure thorough information sharing about a Young person s needs and to prioritise attendance at Transition meetings. If there is a CPA care coordinator they would take this role. 5.7 There should be a plan of the young person s involvement and evidence of responsibility given for decision making wherever possible and documented accordingly. Where the young person has complex needs and with their consent, it is particularly valuable to involve their family / carers too, so that they can agree to and support the proposed plan of care in the best interests of the young person. 5.8 Where there is concern about the capacity of the young person to give consent then use of the Fraser guidelines or MCA should be considered as part of an assessment. 5.9 The Health Care Professional involved in the Child or Young Person s care should, with input from the young person, their family and the wider professional network, develop an individualised transition care plan to support the transition in a timely and effective manner, building on a young person s strength For Children in Care, transition planning starts when the child or young person first comes into care and is supported with the use of the Health App CIC Mobile. 6. Main policy content 6.1 The following should be considered when planning a child or young person s transition to adult services: The importance of children and young people having autonomy and involvement in decision making Providing support for parents / carers whilst empowering the young person with advocacy to ensure their needs are met. 7

8 6.1.3 Professionals need to engage with the young person and ensure that they have a good understanding of their needs. They also need to build relationships and involve other professionals, working across professional boundaries The availability or lack of specific service provision for young people The level of understanding and appreciation of young people s needs and issues in both children and adult health sectors and the opportunity to influence The need to challenge low expectations from professionals and agencies in order that the young person achieves their potential The level of self-advocacy skills and potential to support young people s development and practise of these skills for young people The need to acknowledge differing views of personal independence and success but to aim for independence for a Young Person Boundary issues may impact on transition arrangements in certain geographical areas. For example differing transition arrangements in different authorities and these would need to be assessed on an individual basis. 6.2 Factors thought to enhance transition between services Leadership Successful collaboration and cross-boundary working Resources Acquisition of skills and knowledge Robust documentation and appropriate administration Understanding the implications of the Mental Capacity Act (2005) Understanding of the Children Act (1989) Encouraging the commissioning of a seamless service for children and young people that meets their needs. 7. Training requirements 7.1 All clinical staff involved in the transition of children to adult services should receive training through their induction processes on commencing work and through the Trust Induction process. 7.2 All clinical staff involved in the transition of children to adult services should receive training related to the management of Care plans through their induction processes on commencing work and through the Trust Induction process 7.3 All clinical staff involved in the admission, discharge and transfer of patients should receive training related to compliance in this policy 8.
