Our Care Leaver Team help young people who are transitioning from being Children Looked After to becoming Care Leavers. They need support, advice, and guidance to navigate their way into adulthood successfully.
As part of our role as corporate parents and our ongoing commitment to our Care Leavers, we're expanding our Care Leaver service. This includes opening a new Care Leaver team, hiring more Leaving Care Personal Advisers, and introducing Consultant Social Workers into these teams. This allows us to reduce caseloads, giving our staff more time to work directly with their care leavers and meet their needs.
We recognise that young people leaving care have complex needs and require extra support. Positive relationships with their personal advisors are crucial in their lives.
