1. Transition
The move from child to adult services is called transition. This is often a really confusing and challenging time for parents where advice and support is hard to find.
On the 10th of October we held our annual ‘Moving on from Osborne’ event. Thank you to the representatives of Itchen College, Peter Symonds College and BCOT who attended. The presentation is below:
Dimensions is an experience care provider that understands what a difficult time this is and using our experience we have produced literature to help parents and carers with the decisions they have to make. The transitions brochure attempts to “demystify” some of the process. You can read and download the brochure here:

2. Local Colleges
Below is a table of local colleges where previous pupils have transitioned to. For application information and further details click on the establishment logos.
3, Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable experiences.
Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a college, university or training provider which leads to a nationally recognised qualification*.
An apprenticeship includes:
- paid employment with holiday leave
- hands-on-experience in a sector/role of interest
- at least 20% off-the-job training
- formal assessment which leads to a nationally recognised qualification

4. Supported internships
A traineeship is a skills development programme that includes a work placement. It can last from 6 weeks up to 1 year, though most traineeships last for less than 6 months*. Read more about supported internships HERE.
