Care Leavers Policy

This Care Leavers Policy provides structured, compassionate guidance to support young people transitioning from care to independent living. It focuses on preparing individuals for adulthood by addressing education, employment, housing, health, and emotional wellbeing needs. The policy outlines personalised planning, practical support, and access to resources, mentoring, and advocacy to promote confidence, resilience, and self-sufficiency. Staff responsibilities, review processes, and partnership working with external agencies are clearly defined to ensure continuity of care. By following this policy, the organisation empowers care leavers to achieve positive outcomes, maintain stability, and navigate the challenges of independence safely and successfully.
