Support If You’re Aged 21–25

If you go into custody after you turn 21, you can still receive support until your 25th birthday. You can have a Personal Adviser (PA) if you want one. Your PA will stay in touch with you through calls, letters or visits.

If You Choose to Have a PA

You will receive:

  • an updated Pathway Plan
  • support with education, training, resettlement, money and emotional wellbeing
  • an offer for your PA to meet you before your release to make sure everything is in place

If You Don’t Want a PA Right Now

We will still check in once a year to remind you that support is available. You can contact the Leaving Care Team at any time if you change your mind and want a PA.
