Care Leavers Connect is an online forum open to care leavers of all ages. Non care leavers are also welcome although some areas will be restricted to care leavers.
If you are a professional you are welcome but please do not use this website for recruiting care leavers to any projects.
If you have a media request please contact The Care Leavers Association directly.
