Education Training Work.

Once you have completed your "compulsory" education and left school, as a Looked After young person you can still think about going on to further education or to some sort of training, or eventually on to university if that is what your ambition is!

This will be covered in your needs assessment and your pathway plan. The government wants to see young people who leave care able to do much better in their education and training than in the past.

Your Social Worker or Personal Advisor should make sure you are offered the right advice either from the Connexions, Careers Service, Job Centre or a service attached to the school or college you are interested in attending.

It is important that you know what options are open to you and you receive the encouragement and support you need to acheive the best you can.

You may also be helped with certain education and training costs, e.g. books, travel, and clothing costs.
