The Croydon Pathways to Adulthood Programme helps young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) aged 19+ to develop life skills and prepare for adulthood.

It is run by Croydon College’s Pathways Centre (at Coulsdon College) and the Croydon Youth Disability Project (at Waddon Youth Hub).

Young people (aged 19+) with SEND, including those with complex needs, sensory, or physical disabilities.

• Education, life skills, and social activities.
• Work placements and community support.
• Help with communication and independence.

Young people can be referred to the Croydon Pathways to Adulthood Programme through their school, parents, the Croydon SEND team, or other professionals. The SEND team will manage the application process.

Before starting, you’ll be invited to visit and join an induction session to make sure the programme is the right fit for you.
