Throughcare and Aftercare Services
Who are we and what do we do?
Throughcare is the service that supports young
people prepare for when they will leave care.
Aftercare is the support that you will get when
you have left care and are living more independently.
The Throughcare and Aftercare Team is made up of a manager and five
support workers. We also have a team of six young people's
tenancy support workers.
We work across the whole of Perth and Kinross, from Aberfeldy to
Kinross, and from Crieff to Invergowrie.
We are a small specialised team and have a great deal of experience
working with young people leaving the care system.
We work closely with social workers, carers, education and other
people who have been involved in supporting you.
Your social worker may talk to you before we become involved in
your care plan. At this point, you will be allocated a
Throughcare and Aftercare worker who will make contact with your
social worker.
