What support will I get as a qualifying care leaver?

If you are a qualifying care leaver, it means you were in care for a shorter period than some other care leavers when you were younger.

You may not receive the same level of financial support as some other care leavers, but you can still ask for help, advice and guidance. You do not have to manage everything on your own.

In Hampshire, qualifying care leavers can request support from a Personal Adviser (PA) up to their 25th birthday if they feel they would benefit from it. A PA can provide information, advice, guidance and practical support to help you work towards your goals.

The support available will depend on your individual circumstances and needs.
