Care Advice Line Factsheets
Free to download, these factsheets for children in care and young care leavers - or those supporting them - cover essential issues including managing money, how the care system works and what young care leavers are entitled to.
Our Support and Engagement Team speak to children in care and care leavers about lots of different subjects. They often get asked about how the care system works and what happens when a child leaves care. That’s why we’ve put together these useful factsheets.
