Care Leavers Alumni Network (CLAN)
Sometimes you won’t want to see a social worker formally every couple of months or to complete a pathway plan twice a year. That’s okay because if you do need help after we have “closed your case" just contact UMIST on their duty line and we can look to see how we can help you.
However, for those of you who would like to keep in touch (and we hope you will) we have set up a group for all young people who have ended their formal involvement with us. This group is a way to keep in contact, let you know about useful information and about new offers, services and opportunities, as well as to invite you to one or two events a year which we will arrange. These events will be structured around sharing information with you but are also an opportunity to meet with old staff and each other to get help or just to catch up on news and have some food!
We have, also, created a SharePoint with useful information, which you can access via your phone or laptop. So when we close “your case” you will be given information about how to access it and the Alumni and to give your consent for us to let you know if we are planning events which you might want to attend. Contact details are in the Useful contact section.
