Come with us along the Moving On Route Map

Over the past 18 months, we have travelled together through the 'Moving On' Change Programme – a journey that has not only shaped the way we think about transitions, but has also deepened our understanding of what it takes to create supportive, meaningful change for young people.

At its heart, 'Moving On' has been about listening: listening to the voices of care experienced young people, listening to practitioners who walk alongside them, and listening to the wider system that seeks to improve outcomes. Through workshops, reflective spaces and shared learning, we have created a place where honesty, challenge and hope have been held together.

The stories and insights gathered so far, remind us transitions are not just about, 'What’s next?' They are about identity, belonging and the courage to step forward when the path isn’t always clear. 

What we have learned together 

• The power of lived experience – Young people’s voices have been at the centre, guiding our direction and grounding our decisions. 

• The importance of relationships – Strong, consistent connections remain the foundation of moving through change well. 

• The role of reflection – Space to pause and learn has helped us not only celebrate progress, but also face the challenges ahead with clarity. 

These lessons are not just markers of progress; they are stepping stones towards something bigger. 

The next stage: route mapping 

As we move into the next chapter – route mapping – the work takes on new weight and importance. Route mapping is more than a planning exercise; it is about co-creating pathways that hold meaning, direction and purpose. It recognises that the journey is not linear, but that clarity, guidance and structure are essential for confidence and momentum. 

This stage carries real gravitas It is where insights become strategy, where learning is shaped into practical routes forward, and where commitment deepens. For young people, it represents the chance to see and shape the possibilities ahead. For practitioners and organisations, it offers a framework to embed change that lasts. 

Why this matters 

Route mapping is our collective opportunity to turn vision into reality, ensuring a collective understanding of how we will keep the promise to young people moving on from care.
