Visiting and Contact Aged 16 to 25

Your PA will stay in touch in a way that works best for you.

Age 16-17

Your PA will usually visit you at least every 8 weeks, with more frequent visits agreed if you need them. You will also have regular contact with your social worker.  

Age 18-20

Your PA will visit you at least every 8-12 weeks

Contact can be by text, call, or video chat between visits.

Age 21-25

You choose whether you want ongoing PA support. If you do, you will agree with your PA how often you want to meet.

Even if you decide not to have regular support, we will contact you at least once a year to check in and make sure you are okay.

You can also drop into The Journey (Leaving Care Hub) whenever you want advice, information, or just someone to talk to. See the drop-in times on The Journey activities section.
