Children in care

A child who has been in the care of their local authority for more than 24 hours is known as a looked after child. Looked after children are also often referred to as children in care, a term which many children and young people prefer. Certified Care Solutions Ltd are aware that children in the care are still too often threatened with financially-driven moves, or made the victims of poor planning and decision-making. We are here to give them the help, support and guidance to have the best outcomes. We help homeless teenagers and young offenders leaving secure units with nowhere to go. Certified Care Solutions works closely with the local authorises and other multi agencies to get them the support and care they need.

Care leavers

For some looked after children, leaving the care system can be a challenging time. The latest statistics published in March 2022 indicates that, the number of children looked after (CLA) by local authorities in England rose to 82,170, up 2% on last year and continuing the rise seen in recent years. Certified Care Solutions Ltd are here to cover the gap and assist the local authorities to accommodate, support and offer guidance for the care leavers.
In all nations of the UK, children leaving care at 18 are entitled to support from their local authority until they are at least 25 depending on their circumstances . England and Wales are governed by the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000.
Certified Care Solutions Ltd assess and meet care leavers’ individual needs, develop a pathway plan and help them with the transition in preparation for them to leave care. This includes assisting them to find somewhere suitable to live.

UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN

Unaccompanied children have often lived through years of trauma and arrive profoundly affected by what they have witnessed and are therefore amongst the most vulnerable in the country.

Such children find themselves in need of care, protection, and support as they are alone. They also need support to deal with the effects of severe trauma and mental health issues.

Many unaccompanied children face great uncertainty and are surviving in an unfamiliar environment and culture, with strange habits, rules and language.

At Certified Care Solutions Ltd we try to understand these children and provide basic levels of support, and friendship. We also undertake assessments to recognise and understand the young person’s needs.

We build a support programme, in order to determine the degree of psychological and/or emotional help the unaccompanied child requires.

Assessments will also include the child’s needs in relation to their health, disability, education, legal requirements, religious beliefs, racial origin, culture and linguistic background.
