Star rating: 4/5.
This website is fairly straightforward to use, giving the reader concise information and guidance on a wide range of issues that are relevant to young people, writes Mark Houston.
The way in which the website is divided into specific sections makes it easy and quick to find the information you need. It also clearly advises the reader as to whom and how they should contact for various kinds of support.
The use of colour and graphics is very effective, making it different from other kinds of government websites, which young people would often not be interested in reading.
Mark Houston is a care leaver.
