We would like to formerly invite you to contribute to the consultation on the draft Local Offer for Barnet Care Leavers. We are inviting all our care leavers and children in care, those who work with our young people, and partner agencies to consult on the draft. The consultation process began on 16 January and will close on 13 February.

Please help us to get this right by taking time to read the draft Barnet Care Leavers Local Offer and share your views on what we are proposing by completing a short questionnaire. This will help us to provide care leavers with the right information and support, at the right time.

After the consultation has ended, the Barnet Care Leavers Local Offer will be available in printed format and online via the council’s website and social media.

Thank you for your time – your participation in this important consultation is greatly appreciated.
