How do I get help?

When you reach 15 and a half, your social worker will automatically refer you to the Aftercare Team covering the area where you live.

By 16, you will have been introduced to your personal advisor, talked to them about the services on offer to you and drawn up your own 'Pathway Plan'. Your social worker, carers and personal advisor will help you to draw up the best possible plan to help you.

Being introduced to your personal advisor does not mean you have to leave care at the age of 16, only that you need to be thinking about your future.
