From Care to Campus Videos
See how to navigate university through the eyes of care experienced students. In partnership with the University of Kent and Kent and Medway Progression Federation, this video is part of a series of three, aiming to shed light on the pressing questions care experienced young people may have when thinking about higher education:
-
- Where will I live?
- How can I afford it?
- What is university like for care experienced students?
Working in collaboration with those with living experience of care, these videos highlight their personal journeys and invaluable insights.
