Creating resources for care-experienced aspiring lawyers e.g. our 'Inclusion Inventory' which details paid work experience opportunities;

Creating networks with law firms and chambers to provide more paid work experience opportunities for CEP;

Providing a sense of community and belonging for care-experienced young people to feel seen in the profession for who they are;
