Professional boundaries in child care

You are a residential care worker in Oak Place, a busy residential home for young people. Kelly, one of the young people that you supported, recently left the home to live in her own flat. Kelly is 17 years old and this is the first time that she has lived on her own so you are a bit concerned about how well she is going to cope. You always got on well with Kelly when she lived in the home.
