Introduction to preparing for adulthood
We support young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) between the ages of 14 to 25 years.
For more information, please visit Bexley Local offer.
We have been made aware of a fake letter posted to some homes, supposedly from our Development Management Team, titled ‘Neighbourhood Notice - New Residential Occupancy’ and dated 24/8/2026.
We wish to make it clear that this letter is not from the Council and we have referred the matter to the Metropolitan Police.
If you have received such a letter, please contact us via Community.Safety@bexley.gov.uk

Your year 9 EHCP review will include outcomes to prepare you for adulthood
A worker from the Preparing for Adulthood (PFA) Team will attend your EHCP review We will ask if you would like a needs assessment to determine if you need support as an adult (18 years old).
The PFA worker will start your assessment. The assessment will tell us if you are eligible for support.
If you are eligible for support, the PFA worker will create a support plan with you. The support plan explains what you would like to achieve and who or what will help you to achieve it.
Bexley Adult Social Care will start providing the support agreed in your support plan.
