Local offer for care leavers

Nobody said that growing up was easy. Being in care can make life more complicated and you may need additional support and guidance. We understand that leaving care is a time of big changes in your life. You will have many questions about the support you can get and the services that are available to you.

This guide will help you understand the support that we have for you here in Walsall. We want to make sure that you feel supported and know who to go to for advice and support.
