Welcome to Principles into Practice

- creating positive futures

Becoming an adult is a process that’s different for everyone. It involves big changes and it takes time.

Principles into Practice is exploring ways to improve transitions to young adult life for all young people with additional support needs in Scotland.

It’s time to make a difference.

Whether you’re a young person making that transition yourself, a family member or friend, or a professional providing support, Principles into Practice is about changing things for the better.
