Relationships

As well as support from a PA, we may be able to offer you additional practical and emotional support, such as:

• where appropriate, continuing to support contact with the ‘Independent Visitor’ you had while you were in care
• help to maintain or regain contact with people special to you or who cared for you in the past, like birth family and wider family and friends, former foster carers or social workers, this can include support to fund travel costs
• we will support you with life story and with supporting you with identity
• we can support you using our Volunteer Leaving Care Mentors, who can support you with all manner of things, from moving home and decorating, to advocacy during mediation should you want to regain or maintain contact with friends, previous carers, or family
• we can provide advice on how to access services and training to learn about positive and healthy relationships
• visiting places of worship – for those aged 16 - 21 years, we could help with the cost of public transport to a specific place of worship on special occasions (for example during festive periods).
