The transition to adulthood can be difficult for any young person, and more so for those leaving care. We begin preparing for it early, so that each young person develops the qualifications, practical skills and self-belief to live independently.
Whether the goal is university, an apprenticeship, a trade or a first job, we help each young person identify a realistic pathway and take the steps towards it.
We help each young person feel safe and re-engage with learning and routine.
We explore interests, talents and aspirations, and build on them.
Qualifications, work experience and everyday independence skills.
Supported progression into education, training, employment or independent living.
School, college and university routes, with the support to succeed.
Earn-while-you-learn routes into skilled work.
CVs, interviews and first jobs, with real preparation.
Budgeting, cooking, travel and the confidence to live well.
Every pathway is tailored to the individual young person. The routes shown are illustrative of the support we build around each child's goals.
