Helpful tools and resources for preparing for adulthood

Preparing for adulthood tool

The outcomes across the age ranges tool has been designed by the Department for Education (DfE) to support children from 0 to 25 with the four preparing for adulthood outcomes:  

• Education, training and employment 

• Independent living 

• Community inclusion 

• Good health 

It provides ideas for how those involved in supporting young people can help with preparing for adulthood at different ages and stages of development. 

The tool is available to download from the National Development Team of Inclusion (NDTi) website.

Other useful tools and resources for preparing for adulthood are also available on the NDTi website.
