Preparing to live independently

If you're aged 22 to 25 years old, we can offer you a service which will be based on an assessment of your need.

Following changes introduced through the Children and Social Work Act 2017, you can ask for support from a Personal Adviser up to the age of 25 years old, whether you're in education, training or not. A Personal Adviser will assess your needs and provide a Pathway Plan setting out the support to be offered to you. This could be a need for a specific service which may come from us, or you will be given advice and signposted to other relevant services. We'll help you contact the right service to enable you to have the support you need. And every year we'll send you a birthday card up to your 25th birthday to remind you of our service.
