This week is National Care Leavers' Week.
Organisations such as the Care Leavers' Association, Voice and the National Care Advisory Service are hoping to raise awareness of the issues (still) facing young people as they leave care - like finding suitable accomodation, beginning employment/training/further education and receiving continued emotional support.
A variety of events and conferences will be taking place throughout the week. These include a photography exhibition of looked-after young people's experiences of moving homes, organised by Voice, and a day out in London organised by The Prince's Trust to celebrate their Care Leaver Mentoring projects.
