What is the Lifespan Pathway?
The ‘lifespan pathway’ is a way to describe how people move from one service to another as they grow up and
get older.

Lifespan Pathway
Why are we doing it?
• Support for disabled children and young people aged 0-25 is seamless, for them and their families. Families have a better experience of transition.
• Joined up services between Social Care, Health and Education (Education, Health and Care plans). This is building on existing strong partnerships and solid performance.
• Making the most of commissioning services together (all ages). Better planning for services for young people.
• Make sure resources are used wisely and in the same way. Leading to a reduction in residential placements.
• Make sure structures and processes are used in the same way across Children and Adult Services

Developing Lifespan Pathway
• Maintaining current relationships – The Young Person’s
Service will maintain the excellent working relationship in
place with colleagues in Health, Education and Children’s
Services including Safeguarding.
• Health partners - are reviewing their operational
boundaries to align to those of the CCGs. They are
formally consulting staff on changes to align to the new
Lifespan Pathway.
• Commissioning – developing a commissioning strategy to
meet the needs of people with a disability throughout their
lifespan, linking in with the Learning Disability Integrated
Commissioning Project, resulting in services being
commissioned from 16yrs and beyond a person’s 18th
birthday

Developing Lifespan Pathway
• Consultation – Consultation took place with Parent/Carer Representative organisations, Health and Education Colleagues, Commissioning and KCC staff prior to the proposed restructure. A review will be set with the same stakeholders 6 months post implementation.
• Open Events - Following a very successful open event attended by 350 young people and carers across Kent in February Half Term 2017, a follow up is planned in October 2017 to gain young people’s views about ‘What's going well’ and ‘What needs to change’
• Culture Change - Key Concepts training has commenced, these are the first events to support cultural change within the 16-25 Pathway, focusing on the differences between adults and children's legislation, charging policy for adults, direct payments and access to resources. As well as an opportunity to network.

Developing Lifespan Pathway
• In- House Provision – undergoing an assessment to
determine requirements to meet the needs of the Lifespan
Pathway and gaps within the market
• Short Breaks – Offer has been re-designed so that the
pathway and the commissioning of more flexible services
for young people promotes access to services to ensure
young people’s needs are met
• Systems – one system for 0-25 pathway services. Building
and testing the extended system will take place during
Spring/ Summer 2017

The Care Act and the Children and Families Act want us to plan 0-25 and especially smooth the transition at age 18.

• 4 Disabled Children teams across the county, 0-15
• 4 Young People’s teams, 16-25
• Area Teams: West Kent; Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley & Swale; Ashford Canterbury Coastal & South Kent Coast & Thanet
0-25 Service
