🔎 | This week, the #EdNapier Outreach Team welcomed S5 and S6 pupils from across Scotland to take part in Explore ENU!
The event provided the students with an insight into university life and the opportunity to spend two days attending subject-specific workshops in film, design, music and engineering. 📽🎸

It was great to welcome the new Commissioner for Fair Access Prof. John McKendrick to campus this week.
During the visit he was able to see some of the great facilities but best of all managed to speak to some of our truly amazing students!

Let's talk definitions! Different types of care experience can be described in different ways, and often this has changed over time. A helpful summary of the types of care placements under the term care-experience can be found here: tinyurl.com/kjskpzfb

A lot of the time people who may have experienced a relatively short placement in care, for example in early childhood, may not be fully aware of their care-experienced status #CareDay #KnowAboutCare
