being In Care
Being in care can be a big change. There are often lots of new people involved in your life, and lots of new things to think about.
Everyone in care has a different story, and support for each child or young person will be different. We think the most important thing is that any child or young person in care is safe, happy and healthy.
​
You might have lots of questions about what being in care means for you. The information on the links below may help to answer some of your questions. You can also download the 'new to care' packs which give you lots of information - you usually get given a copy of this when you first come into care.
If you don't find what you're looking for, try getting in touch with your social worker, or you can contact Speak Up using our contact form.

your family and friends
All young people have the right to spend time with their family and friends, unless it is not safe to do so. All professionals know how important this can be.
