🕵 Myth Busting 🕵️‍♀️ This is not true, you can apply for student finance and get this paid to the uni or college. Loan repayments will only start when you earn above a certain amount. Find out more about student loans... bit.ly/34nCeXf #NCLW2020

Let's end the #carecliff. #NCLW2020
26 Oct 2020
Only 20% of care leavers in foster care remain with their carers at 18. The majority (40%) end up in semi-independent or fully independent accommodation. The reality is that most young adults still need considerable support at that age. Let's end the #carecliff. #NCLW2020
