All young people leaving care need a safe home. I support Barnardo's call for a national rent deposit and guarantor scheme. https://t.co/jPixG0LWci #NoPlaceLikeHome. https://t.co/xszQdHIVsL

For young care leavers, council tax is a big burden. And the cost of living crisis is only creating extra pressure.

We're campaigning for care leavers to be exempt from paying council tax until they turn 25.

Write to your local council today ⬇️

If you are (or you know) an aspiring journo with experience of care, this could be a great opportunity to get some amazing support and mentoring - PLEASE SHARE #NewsroomsForAll #mentoring @JSchofieldTrust

Care leavers often struggle finding a private rental property; not having a family to act as rent guarantor or lend them a deposit makes it especially difficult. All local authorities should provide support in this area. Thank you @LukePollard for championing this issue.

I'll be speaking at @CommunityCare Live this Weds, giving a care-experienced perspective on language in care records.

Determined that future care leavers grow up to access kinder, fairer and more accurate records than I did. Register below:

Great to hear @AmazonUK @CareLeaverCov 2023 Inclusive Employment Summit talking about our joint work to support care-experienced young people into employment.

Programmes which support those who grew up in care to access and thrive in work are vital for their long-term prospects.
