What is a Local Offer and who is it for?

What is a Local Offer?

At Haringey Council, we have a special responsibility to look after our care leavers. We always try to provide you with the best possible support and care.

We have a legal duty under The Children and Social Work Act 2017 to publish our Local Offer to you as care leavers.

This document is our Local Offer for care leavers. It explains the support and services that are available to you if you are a Haringey Council care leaver aged between 16 and 25 years old. 

Who is the Local Offer for?

You are eligible for our support if you’ve been in care:

• for at least 13 weeks between the ages of 14 and 16 (including your 16th birthday) or
• for 13 weeks after your 16th birthday

We offer advice, guidance and support to young people who:

• are leaving care from the age of 16, up to your 25th birthday. You can get support from a Personal Advisor at any point up until 25, if that is what you want
