Despite great improvements in air quality in the UK since the Clean Air Act of 1956, current background levels of air pollution still pose a significant risk to health. Long term exposure to air pollution at the levels experienced in many urban centres in the UK is now known to cause respiratory and cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. Short term exposure to episodes of elevated air pollution also leads to a worsening of symptoms for those with existing asthma, respiratory or cardiovascular disease, and can trigger acute events such as heart attacks in vulnerable individuals.

Good nutrition is defined as `an adequate and, well balanced diet¿ vital to good health (WHO 2004). Whilst many people in England eat well, there are a large number who do not, particularly among the more disadvantaged and vulnerable in society (Faculty of Public Health, 2005).

Leaving school, going to college or work and living independently is a marker of transition to adulthood. This is a challenging time for many young people and their families and for young people with disability, complex healthcare and social care needs and their parents and carers this can be an especially challenging time. The support they may have enjoyed through local parents' groups or local children's services will be moving away and adult service provision will take its place. The target groups of young people in Nottinghamshire for a transitions plan; are on the roll of the Nottinghamshire Learning Centre - have a statement of special educational needs (SEN) - are on the roll of a special school - are in receipt of the local authority's High Level Needs (HLN) funding allocation - are a looked after child - attend an independent non-local authority education/care setting is at risk.
