To help you and those that care for you
This route map helps you, and your parents or carers, understand what you can expect from services in Devon and know who is there to help you at every stage of your journey through your teenage years to becoming an adult.
We want to help you, and every young person in Devon, move forward and flourish at every stage of your education. We will support you as you prepare for adulthood, and enable you to lead a safe, healthy and fulfilled life.
We will support and encourage you to take control of your life and this guide is designed to help you on your journey.
We will keep you well informed and ensure that other organisations that we work with know their responsibilities and commitments to you.
If plans change, we will work with you to find the best solutions for your next steps. When there are challenges, we will work together to come up with creative and clear solutions.
