Our Passports
To all Children’s Social Care Department Teams (if this relates to you)
Please renew or apply for our Passport whilst we are in Your Care.
If this is not done before we become a Care Leaver, we go on to struggle to meet certain ID requirements, are restricted in being able to travel and find ourselves unable to start to work.
We understand that we may have several moves and several Social Workers and so we ask if that is that case, please make sure that each new Social Worker is aware of their responsibility to continue the Passport application or renewal process until it’s completed.
It may also be an idea to appoint someone in the Department with administrative responsibilities that include making sure our Passports are in place.
We hope this helps and ask that you please be mindful of the impact this can have on our Mental Health, Emotional Wellbeing and our view of you, the Care System.
Welcome to The Transformed You
Established in 2013, The Transformed You is a Care Experienced led organisation, specialising in providing Intervention and Support Mentoring Programmes and Services, to transform the lives and raise the aspirations of Children and Young People in Care and Care Leavers, because we believe that Change Is Possible.
Our Why?
Children and Young People enter the Care System filled with trauma, rejection and fear. Our adverse childhood experiences impact on how we grow and develop, which can present as behaviour and emotional difficulties that impact on our school performance, our home life, our social interactions and how we see ourselves and how we see our future.
Through Our Service we:
Teach our Mentees how to identify and channel their emotions
Teach them how to respond to and work through difficult and challenging times
Support them to learn how to develop healthy social skills
Empower them to have a positive sense of who they are
Affirm their ability to achieve their aspirations
Help them create a pathway on how to make their dreams their reality
Support them to express their views, feelings and wishes to Professionals to make sure their needs are met
Equip them with Life Skills for life after Care
More Information about what we do can be found throughout our Website!
We’re an Independent Organisation (not Government Funded) and so if our Cause resonates with you and you’d like to help us continue making a difference in the lives of Children and Young People in Care and Care Leavers, why not consider Shopping With Us or becoming a Pay It Forward Champion.
Thank You in Advance, With Your Help, Change Is Possible!
