We believe the initial assessment, local authority recommendations, and progress observed throughout the Leaving Care transition will determine qualitative as well as quantitative levels of support required.
Everyday needs will be catered for as a standard requirement initially and the number of visits and time will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on age and abilities of the young person (variations may occur as and when needs arise, for example, accompaniment to appointments) The young person's link worker will act as an advocate as well as a mentor to the young person, and some of the link worker's duties will include: Providing advice and support. Drawing up the Pathway Plan and ensuring it addresses any changing needs. Keeping in touch with the young person and the after care worker, coordinating services, and linking in with other agencies
