The Services for Young People LDD Team

Services for Young People offers young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LDD) aged 13-24 impartial information, advice and guidance on their post-16 options such as further education, training, employment and independent living.

The LDD Team includes specialist Personal Advisers dedicated to working with young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, to help them make a smooth transition into adult life.

The team works closely with schools, colleges and other learning providers. It also supports young people who attend out-of-county schools or colleges and helps those not in education, employment or training.

It is also important that the team works with the young person's parents/carers.
