Supporting young people leaving care
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is committed and constantly striving to improve outcomes for our young people who are leaving care, and to successfully fulfil our role as corporate parents to enable our young people to make a successful transition to independent living.
Care Leavers: Make Your Own Decision
Young People Leaving Care booklet
CLA Forum (Participation Group)
Care leavers come together on a monthly basis to share their experiences of the looked after system and think of ways that the service could be improved. They are looking to hold a larger consultation event where the panel members hope to run activities throughout the day to get a wider view of how Social Services and other organisations are working with care leavers.
If you are interested, please contact your Personal Advisor or Social Worker for more details.
