Care Leaver Covenant

Please join us on Monday 28 October as part of National Care Leavers Week to enhance the support available for care leavers in London and across the country. ‘Collaborate for Change’ will bring together policy makers, social care professionals and other key stakeholders with care experienced young people, to highlight the work already underway and identify areas for further development and collaboration.   This event is a partnership between the Greater London Authority, the Care Leaver Covenant, London Innovation & Improvement Alliance (LIIA), Drive Forward Foundation and Partnership for Young Londons' Children in Care Council.    Please book your place via this link - https://lnkd.in/eFyHmdwB #NCLW2024 #NCLW
