Care leavers have told us that they would have found moving on to independence much easier if they had developed more life skills before leaving care. This event aims to provide information for carers to understand the options for young people in terms of housing, education and benefits; to enable you to help to assess the needs of your young person. With this knowledge you will also be more able to consider how changes to the "fostering" status may have an impact on your household. We will also have members of the team to offer advice on accommodation options including Staying Put Scheme and Supported Lodgings.
