This information sheet was written to give you information on rights, responsibilities and some practical advice about “making the break”. Leaving Home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

People leave home for a lot of reasons: to be more independent; to work or study in another town; to live with friends or a partner; because of arguments, hassles or too many rules at home; because home just isn’t a safe place to be anymore.

Because leaving home is such an important decision - MAKE SURE YOU DO IT WELL.
