Planning your future
Your leaving care (my future) plan, financial support, getting a job, housing information and family
Public Guardian
When you turn 15, planning for your future begins. It is important that your thoughts and wishes are heard. Planning may work well if you have the right support and people understand what is important to you. Sometimes there is not enough support for you to have a voice in making the plan. It may be that other people disagree with what is best for you, or no one speaking up for what matters to you and you have a disability that makes it more difficult to communicate your wishes.
If you don't have support to make decisions about your future plan and have a disability, an application can be made to have the Public Guardian be your advocate. The application should be made by your case worker. The Public Guardian cannot make any decisions for you but will listen to what is important to you and advocate for this to be in your plan. The Public Guardian's advocacy will also be to encourage others to provide you with the right support for making decisions and check if this is working well.
