Ten top tips for preparing care leavers eBook only
The Ten Top Tips series considers some of the fundamental themes in child care practice in concise, practical guides ideal for busy practitioners.
How do young people who have grown up in care survive without a safety net to fall back on? How do they get through the turmoil of their late teens and early twenties without the emotional and financial support of a loving family behind them? Many care leavers tell of being ill–equipped to deal with leaving care and the stress of having to suddenly cope on their own.
Based on the views and experiences of young people themselves, this book delivers a strong message – believe in and expect the best for every young person you work with and support them to achieve it – and provides advice and guidance on how to make this a reality.
The book is for all those working with young people who are preparing to leave care including social workers, leaving care workers and residential care workers.

Reviews
This packed guide, aimed at leaving care professionals and carers, crams into 10 short sections the essential elements of preparing care leavers for adult life. Ideally it should be scribbled on, post-it noted and referred to, as it is both practical and thought provoking and small enough for every leaving care worker to carry with them.
