Collaborative Care Leaver Covenant updated for 2025-26

Go Higher West Yorkshire’s (GHWY) collaborative Care Leaver Covenant has been updated for 2025-26.

The e-resource, which was originally launched in 2017, demonstrates the ongoing commitment to care-experienced people shown by our 13 Higher Education (HE) members. Updated annually, it brings together all the support, information, and top tips offered by our members in a single, easy to navigate document.  

The document includes a commitment by all our members to move towards using a common definition of ‘care experienced’. This removes one of the barriers in the HE applications process for those who have had experience of the care system, which is the confusion of trying to navigate and make sense of different definitions for access to support. 

The resource also includes an inspiring care leaver story, glossary of HE terms, and top tips to help individuals on their HE journey.
