Support for Care Leavers
In 2008, The University was awarded the Frank Buttle Trust Quality Mark for Care Leavers in Higher Education, working to encourage looked after children to apply to and successfully study at university. We now continue to support and encourage applications from those with a background in care, through our Support for Care Leavers scheme.
Prospective students who identify themselves as having been in care in their UCAS application are contacted to provide them with information about the support systems available to them at the University.
With their permission, contact will be maintained with them throughout their university career to ensure they are being appropriately supported.
You can find full details of the support we offer to applicants who are leaving care in the leaflet and action plan below.
