As corporate parents to all of our cared for children and care experienced young people in Cumberland, we want to make sure that you have all the information and support you need to help you:
- move from being cared for to care experienced
- progress to more independent living
We know it can be both an exciting and uncertain time for you, with lots of different things to think about. This guide will outline what help and support is available to you.
The transition from being cared for to care experienced, independence and adulthood can be a challenging time. You will face many changes and will need to make decisions about your future. We are here to support and help you with these.
We have worked with our partners, both in the council and from the public and voluntary sectors, to provide:
- a range of services
- information
- advice
- guidance
- support
If there is anything you do not understand or you have any questions, you can always speak to:
