Guide for children and young people we care for

If you are cared for by Swindon Borough Council, this guide is for you.

It will help you understand what is happening, who is there to help you, and what choices you have. You can use the guide to talk to your social worker, foster carer, or support worker about anything you are worried about.

The guide explains important things like where you might live, how you can stay in touch with your family and friends, what school will be like and what happens when you get older. It also tells you about your health, your rights and what to do if you are not happy about something.

Children and young people who have been cared for helped us write this guide. They made sure it answers the questions they had when they first came into our care.

You do not have to read it all at once. You can look at the bits that matter to you right now.
