Additional Information

The LCAC service is available to Looked After Children between the age of 16-18years and those young people who are post 18 years and meet the thresholds under the aftercare legislation. It also provides support and advice for the young homeless aged 16 years and over who have been assessed as a young person “in need” by the Gateway Service.

The team provides opportunities to enhance outcomes for the young people in respect of their education, health development and independent living skills. The team also provides a variety of support services based on the assessed needs of the young person as well as signposting and supporting them in accessing community based services. We also consult with young people and care leavers and incorporate their views and experiences into the planning and development of the service.

“Our aim is to ensure young people in the care system are given every opportunity and support to achieve their full potential in life as they progress through to adulthood.”
