Important Documents

We all need important documents because without them we are unable to do simple things such as apply for a course, claim benefits or open a bank account.

Once you are a care leaver, the Care Leavers 18+ Service will ensure that you have the important documents that you require in adulthood, such as your passport and birth certificate. We will also keep copies of your important documents safely in our files although keeping the original versions safe is your responsibility.
