Supporting 16+ Transitions

Are you a young person transitioning out of care? Do you have care experience? The toolkit offers practical advice to help you navigate the transition and early adulthood in general. 

The Real Toolkit is a collection of guides that offer actionable advice for young people and the workforce. It's a leaving care resource from StaF. 

The VHT are here to support our young people through important transitions. We offer a range of supports to young people as they move on into adulthood.
