Having strong and supportive relationships is important for care leavers as they move to independent adult life. We consider the services and support available to help care leavers develop and maintain positive social networks and to understand what positive relationships look like. As well as support from a personal advisor, we may be able to offer you additional practical and emotional support, such as through -
- providing you with a mentor or peer mentor
- help to maintain or regain contact with people special to you and who cared for you in the past such as
- former foster carers
- independent visitors
- social workers
- support to re connect with family where it is in your best interest
