🫂 Safeguarding
🦠 Infection control
🫀 Basic life support
💬 Communication skills

[I-CAN Project @ICAN_Roehampton]

💡 "There are so many career opportunities out there in the healthcare sector - we just need to be signposting young people to these opportunities and supporting them in every way we can to help them achieve them," says Jo Rixon, @RoehamptonUni

[I-CAN Project @ICAN_Roehampton]

🗣️ "It's really important that we include young people in these kinds of discussions - ask them what's working, what isn't, and what more support they'd like to see to help them on their way," adds Sam Mason, @SouthLonP

[I-CAN Project @ICAN_Roehampton]

💭 What are some of the greatest challenges facing care leavers right now?

"It's about making sure that care leavers feel like they have access to the information, and for us, it's vital to make sure that this information gets to them" says Nova Levine, Wandsworth Virtual School

[I-CAN Project @ICAN_Roehampton]

👏 Our I-CAN launch event is officially underway!

We’re here at Wandsworth Civic Suite to mark the first steps of this exciting, brand new programme

Opening the evening is a panel of experts discussing the opportunities and importance of supporting care leavers across London

[Uni of Roehampton @RoehamptonUni]

Led by @RoehamptonUni, the I-CAN is a new programme, designed to support those young people in pursuing a career in healthcare.💚
