Scotland families: we’re here to guide your child’s journey into adulthood

We’re excited to launch a new hub on our website, Talking about Tomorrow, packed full of advice for families in Scotland with disabled children moving into adulthood.
A lot of the content from the hub comes from our now-closed microsite of the same name. Launched in 2019, Talking about Tomorrow was put together with parent carers to help other families with teenage disabled children.
We’ve rebuilt the microsite at contact.org.uk, covering all the same key topics you need to know as your child grows up, including:
- Your and your child’s rights and responsibilities.
- Benefits and finances after 16.
- Wills, Trusts and legal matters.
- Learning and job opportunities.
- Making a transition plan and how to get support.
Talking about Tomorrow also features a handy jargon buster, lots of parent carer and young person case studies, and videos and podcasts.
Susan Walls, Contact’s Head of Programmes in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, says:
“Our Talking about Tomorrow microsite has been a popular resource for families in Scotland since it launched. Putting it together was a co-productive process, in which parent carers told us what kind of information they need as their child moves through their teenage years.
“As website technology has developed, we’ve decided to move all this great content to our parent site, contact.org.uk, which has improved functionality and accessibility features. We’re delighted to give Talking about Tomorrow a new home alongside all our highly-respected advice for families across the UK.”
