Once you’re 21, you can:

Adoption

  • adopt a child

Driving

  • supervise someone learning to drive (only if you have had a full licence for that type of car for three years)

Flying

  • get a flight navigator’s licence, a flight engineer’s licence, or an airline transport pilot’s licence

The legal stuff

  • if you are given a custodial sentence, you will be sent to prison
  • if you have been looked after between the ages of 16 and 18, the Council have a duty to advise and befriend you until the age of 24
