Continuing Care whilst Living at Home on a Supervision Order

In 2022, CELCIS created a series of resources on Continuing Care.

If you click through to their website here you can access their information video on Continuing Care and living at home on a Supervision Order. Through the eyes of Sophie, you can find out more about the challenges and thoughts of someone trying to understand continuing care and how they might relate to you. Here’s a bit more about her story:

“Sophie is 14 and has been living with foster carers for the past year. Her family had some problems they needed to work out, so Sophie and her little brother went to stay with a foster family while things got sorted out at home. Sophie's mum and dad are in a much better place now and she is excited that her social worker said that Sophie and her brother can move back home again. Everyone keeps talking about 'orders' and being 'looked after at home'. Sophie is really confused: she doesn't know what her social worker means about being ‘looked after at home’. Surely everyone is looked after? Sophie wonders what this means for her and her brother.”

Remember to talk to someone you trust such as your connector or someone at The Why Not? Trust about any big decisions that affect your future. Alternatively, you can click here to find out more about the helplines that specialise in your rights to continuing care.
