An Independent Visitor (sometimes called IVs) is an adult who is there just for you. They are not social workers and are not part of Children’s Services. They are not paid to be an Independent Visitor but more like a friend, someone who you would meet up with regularly, have fun with and do things together. Independent Visitors are for children and young people who are ‘looked after’ by the local authority who would like to have an adult friend to support them. You and your Independent Visitor would decide together where you would like to go and what you would like to do. It could be: Watching or playing sports. Listening to music. A day doing an activity like bowling, swimming or cycling. Chatting over a drink and a snack. Playing computer games. Anything else you may enjoy!
