Summary: Observes that while UK Government agencies have introduced law, regulations, guidance and good practice rules concerning the transition from adolescence to adulthood for people with learning disabilities, these appear to have had only limited effect. Examines explanations for the limited progress in this area. Identifies inter-organisational divisions as a crucial factor, and is critical of the 'top-down' approach that has characterised policy responses.
