Information for young people about
Independent Visitors
An Independent Visitor (IV) is a specially trained
adult who is there to offer friendship, fun and support to looked
after children and young people. IVs are 'independent' which means
they are nothing to do with your social worker or carers - they
are there just for YOU.
IVs meet up with their matched young person once a month. Visits
might include going to the cinema, bowling, a walk in the park,
whatever you both enjoy doing.
If you would like to have an IV, have a chat with your social
worker or you can contact us directly on 01480 437953 alison.black@nyas.net.

What
do young people who've got an IV say about them?
"He
always listens to what I have to say"
"We
always have a laugh!!"
"Some
people think that it's not cool to have an IV, but I like it because
she only knows about the 'other stuff' if I choose to tell her."
"She's
my IV, nobody else's - just for ME"
Talk to the person that runs the Service -
Alison Black (alison.black@nyas.net)
or your social worker or carer.
