The Leaving care and after care Resources Pack (PDF, 1.1 MB) is a consolidated guide for caseworkers.
It provides high level practice advice with links to a comprehensive range of resources, information and forms.
The structure of the pack allows users to quickly access detailed information on the subject they want without having to navigate through the same level of information on other subjects.
The documents listed below all appear in the Resources Pack. Caseworkers who only want a specific document can still use those links but it is recommended that they check the Resources Pack to help identify additional supports available for care leavers.
The Youth Hub is a great resource providing information for 15–25 year olds who are, or have been, in care and encourages them to know their rights, plan for the future, and ask for support to help make informed decisions.
Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) caseworkers have access to some great resources – such as these Practice Live short videos - to help them engage with young people:
Both DCJ and NGO caseworkers can also find valuable advice in Frames:12 fabulous ways of talking with young people – a comprehensive, practical guide about working with young people written by Peter Slattery.
