We want to help you get the skills you need to live on your own. We work with other
services and professionals involved with you to make sure our services meet your
needs.
We are able to help you until you are 19 years old if you have been in care at,
or
after, your school leaving date. The law says that at this age you are a compulsory
supported person.
If you need help once you are over 19 and have been in care, we provide services
until you are 21. The law says that at this age you're a discretionary supported
person.
