  2. Transition A recent report published by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) defines Transition as: A process that occurs when children move to adulthood, involving physical and psychological developments coupled with changes to roles and relationships with family and friends, staff and the wider community. Transition of care services takes place at different ages depending on the service, usually 16 for health services, 18 for social care services and up to 19 for moves from school to college-based education. Growing Up Matters January 2007
