Transition

I just wanted to feedback on my experience of undertaking the current piece of joint work with you in respect of supporting… with his move.

I want to thank you and your team for your commitment to making this transition for … as smooth and successful as possible. It has been very reassuring to …  mother and I that the approach you have taken has been a holistic one. This has been evidenced in how you have continued to gather information in respect of … care and support needs, ensuring that you have obtained all the necessary information, have considered the views of … mother and the views of professionals currently supporting … to inform and equip your team moving forward.

The transition planning meeting that you have taken a lead in arranging, chairing, and minuting have played a significant part in progressing the plan forward in a timely manner as well as offering reassurance to … mother at this difficult time. The planning has been robust and well considered with all members of the team visiting … at his home and school to get a better understanding of who … is and how his needs can be best met. It is apparent that … has been kept at the very centre of all discussions and planning however, it is also worth noting that you have been able to sensitively support and reassure … mother validating her input towards the success of her son’s move.
