As a parent or carer, you are expected to have all the answers, but in a constantly evolving world it can be a struggle to keep up with the latest options out there. Are apprenticeships the right option to think about? Should they be considering T levels? Do they have to go to university? What are their options locally? Skills4Worcestershire aims to provide you with all the information and support you require to guide your young person into their next steps.
Corporate Parenting
When a child comes into care, they become 'looked after' and Worcestershire County Council (WCC) becomes their Corporate Parent. The same is true for Care Leavers.
The term ‘Corporate Parent’ means the collective responsibility of the whole Council, elected members, employees, and partner agencies, for providing the best possible care and safeguarding for looked after children and care leavers.
Choices - career magazines and booklets
Choices are a series of careers and advice magazines and booklets that will help you to understand the wide range of career choices and opportunities available to young people across Worcestershire, to support you and your young person in planning for the future.
