Leaving Care

How does the Children (Leaving Care) Act affect you?

Before you leave care, your care manager or key worker will explain what will happen.  They will try to ensure that by the time you leave care:

  • you are well prepared for independence
  • you leave care when YOU are ready, not before
  • you are not alone
  • you have enough money to manage properly.

BUT whether the process works or not depends on you, not your care manager or key worker.

It's about your life!
