We know it is a big step when you move out of care and start to live independently. You can feel lonely and it can be scary. If you are leaving care, or have already left care, we want to make sure that you feel safe and supported, and that you know who to go to for advice.
Even when you have moved on, we will bethinking about you, and you can always come back for advice and support. We have talked to the Care Leavers Forum, Insight, and several of you about the Local Offer and we will continue to listen to your views to make sure we are offering you the services you need.
You can download a copy of Our Local Offer which covers:

Your social worker or personal advisor can also advise you about the Local Offer for Care Leavers.
