Your rights and what to expect

Your care plan

When you start being looked after, you will have a ‘care plan’ which sets out what you need and how we will care for you. 

Your care plan covers:

  • Your wishes and feelings, including your family's views and expectations
  • A placement plan, which sets out where you will live
  • A personal education plan (PEP) 

It’s an important document as a way to make sure that all the agencies and people involved in your care, work together to do the best for you.

We update your plan regularly and we always include your views and wishes in it.

When you are 15 years and nine months old, if you are still looked after, we will work with you on a ‘pathway plan’  to help you to prepare for adulthood as a care leaver.

Find out more about your plans and meetings by reading the Young persons guide to the care planning, placement and case review (England) regulations 2010.
