This guide is for all school leaders, and pastoral care, support and teaching staff who work with young people who are preparing to move on from secondary schooling to the next stage in their lives. It is also for people who work in partnership with the school to support young people who are going into employment or continuing their learning, for example, parents, residential care staff, college staff, and staff from agencies and services such as social work services, Careers Scotland, post-school psychological services, youth work services, voluntary providers, training providers, community groups, other educational establishments and employers. This guide provides examples of some of the things which school leaders, teachers and their partners do to support young people at transition. Successful transitions result in young people who are confident and resilient, and who are able to enter the world of work with the skills they need and contribute to society as a whole. Appended are: (1) Key publications and the national context; (2) Sources of support; and (3) Acknowledgements. (Contains 4 footnotes.)
