Leaving care or transitioning towards independence can be a complex time and process for care leavers. They may not be aware of the support they may be entitled to, or their eligibility rights as care leavers.
This course is recommended for advocacy professionals and practitioners in health, education and care settings who already work with young people who are leaving care and transitioning towards independence, or those wishing to develop their understanding to be able to do so.
Striking out into the world on your own for the first time can be exciting as care leavers discover newfound independence, but it can also be a time of great uncertainty for care-experienced young people who are about to leave the care system.
Care leaver entitlements and levels of support can vary across Local Authorities, so it's important that advocacy professionals and practitioners across health, education and care settings supporting young people feel confident to help them discover what they're entitled to, and how their rights continue to be upheld into adulthood.
Upon completion of this training, learners will:
Understand the care leaver journey and context.
Recognise the experiences and needs of care leavers.
Support positive transitions to adulthood.
Work effectively with key processes and roles.
Apply a trauma-informed and relationship-based approach.
Support access to opportunities and services.
This care leaver support training will be delivered via a live, interactive webinar, by a member of our highly experienced training team.
NYAS is a leading, national rights-based charity that delivers a range of services, including care leaver support, to children and young people across England and Wales. We have practical experience within this training area, and your learning will be supported by our expert guidance and a supporting handbook.
