Midlands IV recruits, trains and supports volunteers who provide an Independent Visitor service to children and young people who are looked after, or who have left the care of the local authorities in the Black Country and also Telford & Wrekin. The overall aim is to build a positive relationship and provide support for the young people when needed. Volunteers are there as someone �independent� for that young person, outside of all the other professionals paid to be part of their lives.
