Pathway planning
for care leavers

Young people who are leaving care and moving into the adult world need more than a wave goodbye. Pathway planning is a long and measured process, involving other agencies and, most importantly, the young person themselves. It does not always go smoothly but social workers have a responsibility to ensure that plans and safeguards are in place that remain available in the months and years to come.This course considers a structured approach to pathway planning, highlighting the importance of contingency planning and provide an opportunity for participants to try out the permanency planning format.

Learning outcomes cover:

  • Skills for workers in working alongside young people to build security, confidence and relationships in their long-term placements.
  • Research and practice guidelines around a variety of models of permanence, including links into leaving care.
  • How to set measurable objectives.
  • Understanding a care plan format.
