This study reviewed perceived changes to planning and management of transitions to adulthood for young people with special educational needs and disabilities in three local authorities in England, following implementation of the Children and Families Act (2014). Wenger’s ‘community of practice’ theoretical framework was used to examine how groups of professionals and managers working in education, health and social care in three areas, set about implementing selected radical changes required by the legislation. Telephone interviews with sixteen participants were transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis. Themes identified related to professional activity, planning and organisation, implications for children, young people and parents and outcomes. There were indications of significant shifts in professional conceptualisations and reported practices as a result of the Act. Participants described enhanced cross-service communication and co-ordinated working practices, achieved though service restructuring, co-location and changed lines of accountability. They are also reported to put an increased emphasis on long-term planning and a greater focus on involving the young person in planning and decision making with regard to defining outcomes, and living and working as an adult. The results are considered in relation to the extent that mandated change can influence attitudes and cultures within communities of practice, contributing to the contemporary theoretical debate to incorporate issues relating to power.

为有特殊教育需要和残疾的年轻人规划过渡到成年的挑战：专业和管理观点

本研究回顾了英格兰三个地方当局在实施《儿童和家庭法》（2014 年）后，为有特殊教育需求和残疾的年轻人过渡到成年期的规划和管理方面的感知变化。Wenger 的“实践社区”理论框架被用于研究在教育、健康和社会保健三个领域工作的专业人士和管理人员群体如何着手实施立法要求的选定的根本性变革。对 16 名参与者的电话采访被转录并进行了专题分析。确定的主题与专业活动、规划和组织、对儿童、年轻人和父母的影响以及结果有关。由于该法案，有迹象表明专业概念和报告的实践发生了重大变化。参与者描述了通过服务重组、同地办公和改变问责制来实现的增强的跨服务沟通和协调工作实践。据报道，他们也更加重视长期规划，更加注重让年轻人参与关于确定结果以及作为成年人的生活和工作的规划和决策。结果被认为与强制变革可以影响实践社区内的态度和文化的程度有关，有助于当代理论辩论，以纳入与权力有关的问题。参与者描述了通过服务重组、同地办公和改变问责制来实现的增强的跨服务沟通和协调工作实践。据报道，他们还更加重视长期规划，更加注重让年轻人参与关于确定结果以及作为成年人的生活和工作的规划和决策。结果被认为与强制变革可以影响实践社区内的态度和文化的程度有关，有助于当代理论辩论，以纳入与权力有关的问题。参与者描述了通过服务重组、同地办公和改变问责制来实现的增强的跨服务沟通和协调工作实践。据报道，他们还更加重视长期规划，更加注重让年轻人参与关于确定结果以及作为成年人的生活和工作的规划和决策。结果被认为与强制变革可以影响实践社区内的态度和文化的程度有关，有助于当代理论辩论，以纳入与权力有关的问题。据报道，他们还更加重视长期规划，更加注重让年轻人参与关于确定结果以及作为成年人的生活和工作的规划和决策。结果被认为与强制变革可以影响实践社区内的态度和文化的程度有关，有助于当代理论辩论，以纳入与权力有关的问题。据报道，他们还更加重视长期规划，更加注重让年轻人参与关于确定结果以及作为成年人的生活和工作的规划和决策。结果被认为与强制变革可以影响实践社区内的态度和文化的程度有关，有助于当代理论辩论，以纳入与权力有关的问题。
