What is the
Local Offer?
4:
Advice and
Support from a
Personal Adviser
5:
I thought at my age it might be too late to com
e
back into education and have the support of the
Leaving Care Service but when I contacted the
After Care Team, I was allocated a Personal Advi
ser
in the 20+ team. I was told I would have a Personal
Adviser in that team until my course finishes. I have
also been able to meet with the Post 16 teacher and
got support in claiming for bursaries and grants/lo
ans.’
