If you are a care leaver, you have certain rights and entitlements from Children’s Services. All care leavers (“former relevant children”) should have a personal adviser (PA) until they are 21. A care leaver over 21 can also ask for help from a PA until they are 25. The PA should be updating your pathway plan, giving you advice and making sure you know how to get the support you need. You will have the right to a PA and pathway plan even if an adult social work team or health team is supporting you.

A disabled care leaver has the same rights as any other care leaver.  If your local authority refuses to provide you with this support just because you have a disability, this is against the law.
