This year’s Care Leavers Week, which takes place from 23 October to 1 November, marks a year since the launch of the Care Leaver Covenant.
Since then Spectra First, the delivery partner appointed by the Department for Education, has been busy getting organisations to sign up and back their commitment up with practical offers of help that support care leavers to live independently.
If you haven’t heard about the Covenant, go to the My Covenant website to see what’s on offer to help the young people you are supporting once they leave care.
They also have a useful app that you and your young people can download to access offers in your local area.
