Support For Care Leavers (16+)
Bulletin Board
Through Care
Through Care provides services to young people and children who are in long term care or have left the care of the local authority.
Children can be looked after in two ways. They are mainly either looked after with the agreement of their parents under Section 20 of the Children Act or by order of the court under a Care Order. The young people need and deserve the most positive experiences from their corporate parenting. We seek to promote good health and education provision and support to develop their resilience and improving outcomes. Stability of placement and support are crucial to achieving good outcomes.
Through Care place the child at the centre of their work, they: •Strive to make care planning effective •Ensure young people have accommodation that meets their needs •Review the care plan in a timely manner
The Local Authority has produced a Pledge document with the help of Looked After Children. The Pledge sets out the key promises from the Local Authority to the Looked After Children and Care Leavers.
Preparing for independence
Young people will leave care either on or before their 18th birthday depending on their needs. Young people will be involved in the decision making about preparing them to leave care. This process will start before the young people leaves school and will look at what they need to happen before they are ready to be independent. This process Support for care leavers (16+) It is important that you know what support is available when you become a care leaver.
Support for care leavers To access care leavers support, you must have been in care for at least 13 weeks (this does not have to be 13 weeks in a row) after age 14 and included some time after your 16th birthday.
If you are not sure whether you qualify for support, or have any questions please ask your Social Worker or Personal Advisor.
We will encourage you to stay in care until you are 18. Most young people still live at home with their families at this age.
We must provide you with suitable accommodation options up to the age of 18.
Personal advisors All care leavers are entitled to a personal advisor, which is legal term for a leaving care worker. An advisor will be allocated between your 16th and 18th birthdays, depending on your circumstances. Your personal advisor will in many ways be the guide as you leave our care. Personal advisors are not social workers but they have lots of other experience and qualifications.
Your personal advisor is there to:
listen to you and help you get ready for the next steps make sure that decisions are made that are best for you help you to prepare to live independently offer advice and support after you leave care record this information in your pathway plan a visit to yourself will be completed a minimum of 6 weekly The amount of support that you receive from your personal advisor will depend on what you want and your circumstances.
We are based at the Civic Offices in Cleethorpes where we have a special room designed with young people so that you can talk with your worker in privacy and comfort.
We will try our best for you to keep the same worker during your time with the service. Each year when we ask our care leavers they talk about how important their worker is to them. Having consistency is important.
We also recognise the need to have a range of workers because not all styles suit all young people.
Should you at any point wish to change your worker we will speak to you about the reason why you want to change and if it is agreed that this is best for you we will consider this. However it is not automatic.
We will actively stay involved until you reach the age of 21 years old. We will continue to support you post 21 if there is a specific need. You can request support at any time up until your 25th birthday.
What kind of help do you get? Here are some examples of ways in which we help you from the age of 16 onward:
helping you to plan for your future and achieve your ambitions help with finding the right education and training opportunities after you leave school (we can help you with any extra costs or equipment you might need for courses) finding work experience opportunities support to apply for apprenticeships help you to find the right sort of accommodation at a time that is right for you (for example remaining with your former foster carer at 18 in a supported lodgings arrangement) help with the costs of setting up in your own flat (setting up home allowance) help you to keep in touch with family, carers and friends and develop good support networks wherever you are living make sure you have the chance to develop your independent living skills (for example cooking, cleaning, managing money and paying bills)

Digital Inclusion is a cross-sector collaboration with a number of organisations working together to create a digitally inclusive borough. We want to make sure no one is left behind as digital becomes the way to access services, communicate with organisations and interact with friends and family
The Digital Inclusion project forms part of our wider vision for a better more equal borough that supports and enables residents to improve their lives. We want to make sure that residents have the capability to use the internet to do things that benefit them day to day. We aim to ensure our residents have access to the kit, connectivity and are equipped with the skills they need to make the most of digital opportunities.
To help achieve this we are developing a Digital Network of digital partners and providers from across the public sector, voluntary and community sector as well as business partners. This network will serve to jointly tackle digital exclusion and will work collaboratively to find solutions for our residents.
Our aim Our aim is to enable everyone who wants to be digitally enabled, where our residents have the confidence, skills and access to the internet they need to gain the work, health and life benefits the internet provides.
Why digital inclusion matters With the world around us becoming increasingly digital, the access and capacity to use online services is a necessity. We are committed to digital accessibility and are determined to get our digitally excluded residents safely online to fix the digital divide.
Residents will not be left behind. Digital exclusion can have serious negative impacts on a person’s job prospects, education, health and wellbeing and finances. Through not having the digital skills and access to utilise the online world an individual is at an increased risk of falling into poverty.
We are committed to making sure this doesn’t happen anymore, with our team of dedicated partners ranging from businesses, community groups and charities we are focused on providing the solutions and access to devices, digital connectivity and skills to ensure no one is left behind.

S E N D Local Offer - Education - Studying Abroad With Disabilities
Bulletin Board
A guide for UK exchange students Many British students describe their time abroad as the most inspirational experience along their educational path. A foreign exchange can become the cherry on top of a perfect resume. But is it equally available for everyone? In 2021, over 15% of UK students declared a disability, which makes them a group that needs to be reckoned with and taken into consideration. Research shows that young people with health conditions are increasingly more aware of their rights and empowered to execute them. They want to get the most out of their studies and keep up with their peers. As a result, for many students with disabilities going abroad is an important step toward more independence and self-reliance.

S E N D Local Offer - Education - Changing Schools, Key Stages Or Classes
Bulletin Board
Transition Planning. Moving to the next stage of education Once new school places are confirmed, families start thinking about the transition, from practical ones about drop-off and pick-up, uniform and homework, to concerns about their child making friends or settling with their new teacher.
In North East Lincolnshire parents, carers and their children will be invited into educational settings for information sessions and for children to meet their teacher. This will help them to get a feel for the school, the staff and the way things run in new settings, and what parents can do with children while they’re at home to get them ready for transition. Seeing the school building and layout can be really useful as can virtual tours on school websites.
