Care Leaver Experience

The Eastern Region Leaving Care network are collaborating and working on a number of initiatives as part of this priority. 

A Leaving Care Peer Review framework has been written and piloted and is now available so local authorities in the region are able to request a peer review against this framework.

A regional Leaving Care Conference for colleagues working across the region was held on 20th September which had a focus on NEET to EET, trauma informed practice and transitions. It was very well attended by colleagues from across the region and the feedback from them was excellent.

A focus group for former UASC children is being organised for later in the year so that their voices can be captured to inform improvements across the region.
