Transition planning: process or procedure?

Abstract

David Wood, Educational Psychologist with the Lancashire Educational Psychology Service, and Steve Trickey, Educational Psychologist with the Clackmannanshire Educational Psychological Service, examine the implications of the Code of Practice for the 14+ review and the transition process. Adopting the emphasis given in the Code to personal, social and independent living skills, the extent to which a balance can be obtained between process and procedure is explored.
