Supporting Looked after Young People and Care Leavers in Further Education: A Guide and Resource Pack for Colleges in England
Learning and Work Institute
This guide is for colleges in England that want to review and improve their support for Looked After Young People (LAYP) and Care Leavers (CLs). It includes information about who LAYP/ CLs are, the kinds of challenges they face, their rights and entitlements to support, and what staff need to be aware of when working with LAYP/CLs. The guide then goes on to provide information, tips, and case study examples of good practice in supporting LAYP/CLs at each stage of their learner journey: outreach and recruitment, application and enrolment, on-course support, and progression into further learning and/or employment. The guide is accompanied by a pack of training materials which can be adapted and used by designated members of staff to raise awareness of the needs of LAYP/CLs across their college. Contains a glossary and a list of resources. [This guide was developed by Susan Muller.]
