Why?

young people’s pathway plans: to ensure they were done in a timely fashion and
then to tailor them to the specific needs of young people.
What?
+ Additional reviews of pathway plans are carried out when there has been a
significant change in a young person circumstances.
+ In line with case law they recognised the pathway plan as a contract with young
people.
+ The wording of the plans has changed to make them more personalized.
+ Information is available to young people about the support that is on offer so it
can be included in their pathway plan.
Impact
More care leavers in North Yorkshire reported feeling involved all or most of the time in their pathway planning compared to care leavers nationally (73% vs. 62%). This is a Bright Spot of practice.
