CARE LEAVERS

In Solihull, we want to ensure the support that we provide to you when you leave our care:

  • Is what we would do for our own children (recognising that all families will have a budget to work within).

  • Recognises you are an individual with individual needs.

  • Supports you in taking risks and responsibility for yourself as a young adult. We will offer you a ‘second chance’ if things do not work out first time round. Everyone makes some mistakes during their move to independence whether they have been in care or not.

  • Helps you to access and maximise all the support available to you through a range of services. This will include accessing benefits, practical and financial support.

  • Ensures all young people who have left our care are treated fairly.

 

The amount of support, including financial support, that you will get as a care leaver will be dependent on your age and individual circumstances.
