Supporting care leavers into higher education: what works?
Event Information
Description
Unfortunately this session has been postponed until early 2018. To register your interest for this new date, please contact: FestivalofSocialScience@bournemouth.ac.uk
This interactive workshop showcases recent research undertaken at Bournemouth University into the experiences of Looked After Children and those supporting them as they consider, enter and transition through university. This group of (potential) students often face more challenges when considering their future than many other young people but our study suggests that, with additional support and guidance, they can and do become successful graduates. Through discussion and mini-research activities, you will have the opportunity to link the findings from this study with your own experiences and consider how we can work together to fully engage and support these young people into HE.
