Leaving Care Policy

Leaving Care Policy outlines the support and guidance provided to young people who are transitioning from childhood or foster care to independent living. Its aim is to ensure they have the necessary resources, skills, and emotional support to live successfully on their own. This includes help with education, employment, housing, and managing personal responsibilities. The policy emphasizes planning ahead, ensuring young people are prepared for independence, and receiving ongoing support even after leaving care, to promote stability, confidence, and positive life choices.
