This section of leavingcare.org has been developed to be of particular use to professionals working with young people in and leaving care.

Leavingcare.org has been developed and is maintained by the National Care Advisory Service (NCAS). Go to about us to find out more, including details of our current projects.

Information - For background information on young people moving on from care go to key facts. The law and rights page gives you information about the legislative and policy framework for care leavers.

Advice - If you need advice on a specific issue, please see the enquiries page. To find out what's on, take a look at our events calendar. For all the latest news go to news or join our mailing list to receive the leaving care magazine Keynotes.

Resources - The website is continually evolving and it is now possible to download a wide range of free products. You can also use the national leaving care standards to rate your service and access our practice database to improve your work. The links page gives you more information about other organisations working with care leavers or campaigning on their behalf.

Get in touch - We want this website to be as useful and relevant to you as possible - please email any comments to ncas@catch-22.org.uk
