Post 18
Our support for young people does not stop once they complete their Post 16 programme. Once a young person moves into Year 14 and/or onto Post 18 provision, we identify their destination and to monitor their progress liaising with Leaving Care Personal Advisers (PA's). For those who are NEET, referrals can be made by PA's to our P18 Multi-agency NEET Panel, who can support and signpost to appropriate services.
Here are some useful websites that can be accessed if you need specific information about post-16 options/pathways and the support that is available to care leavers.
