Care Experienced Local Offer
We work with care experienced young people to make sure they feel supported into independence after leaving care - this is known as our Care Experienced Local Offer.
Support into independence and adult life will look different for different people, but could include:
- deciding where to live
- choosing whether to get into employment, get some more training or study for more qualifications
- budgeting advice
- working out how much support might be needed from a social worker or personal adviser
The level of support that is offered depends on:
- your age
- when and how long you were cared for
- whether you are currently still cared for
