Welcome to the Sandwell Care Experienced Portal

This is a dedicated space for care experienced young people to explore the support, opportunities, and guidance available as you transition into adulthood.

At Sandwell we prefer the term ‘Care Experienced Young Person’ but you may find that some other people use the term ‘Care Leavers’.

As your local authority, we’re here to champion your rights, help you navigate life after care, and ensure you feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way. This site outlines your entitlements including access to housing, education, employment, health services, and financial support.

Whether you’re looking for practical help, emotional reassurance, or someone to talk to, we are committed to walking alongside you because leaving care should never mean facing things alone.
