What is it about?
The paper explores ways that care leavers can be better supported into employment/ adult life. It's based on the evaluation of a project that a local authority runs that helps Care Leavers by providing supportive internship opportunities. Care Leavers need support in accessing the opportunities/ resources provided to them.

Why is it important?

Perspectives
