Support young people on their journey to independence with My Book of Independence: Leaving Care Edition. 
 
While it includes all the essential guidance found in the General Edition—such as understanding housing options, managing money, navigating tenancy agreements, and developing key life skills - this Leaving Care Edition goes further. It offers targeted insight into the unique challenges and entitlements of care-experienced young people, including:
  • A clear breakdown of the leaving care process
  • Information on local offers, personal advisers, and pathway plans
  • Rights, entitlements, and how to advocate for support
  • Practical advice for setting up and sustaining independent living
 
Developed by Who Cares Consultancy, this edition is written with empathy, expertise, and a commitment to empowering care leavers with the tools they need to thrive. Whether you’re a professional supporting one young person or a team working with many, this resource is an invaluable investment.
 
Empower independence. Strengthen transitions. Support care leavers with confidence.

"Amazing Resource"

- Power2Prevail

"As a care leaver myself, I found it really helpful. It breaks things down in a way that’s easy to understand, especially for those who might feel unsure or overwhelmed about living independently. I think its a great resource for anyone preparing to leave care, and I really appreciate the effort and thought that went into it."

- Melca, 21

"It is packed with brilliant advice and guidance for any young person from how to explore your future goals, career, educational wishes to exploring housing options available and clear pros and cons to the options, to managing your bills including debt and helpful pages/organisations led by care experienced people. We would recommend anyone who works with young people to get a copy."
