Resources
The following page includes various open access resources that I have produced based on my research. These can be used for information purposes, or as a guide when developing support for care-experienced students and graduates.
'Additional Support' resource
This is a resource that has been created for the purpose of signposting care-experienced research participants to charities and organisations that provide support, advice and guidance on accommodation, finance, disability, employment, as well as health and wellbeing.
As this was designed for the Care-Experienced Graduates' Decision-Making, Choices and Destinations project, the charities and organisations included are largely based in England and Scotland.
You may wish to use this information for a similar purpose, or to inform the creation of more general directories that signpost care-experienced people to relevant charities and organisations.
