Local Offer for Care Leavers

What is this service?

This support is for separated migrant young people also known as Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC).

When you are under 18, you'll have the same entitlements as any other child in need in Essex. When you reach 18 years old you will be entitled to a level of care and support from us, but this is subject to your immigration status. We will plan with you for three possible outcomes (also known as Triple Planning), which means:
- Helping you plan for a future in the UK if you are given some form of leave to remain
- Ongoing support while you wait for a decision
- Helping you make a back-up plan if you have been refused leave to remain in the UK and have exhausted all appeals
