Care to Go Higher
As a partnership of West Yorkshire Higher Education (HE) providers, we have a shared responsibility to help care leavers reach their potential through economic and educational progress. To address the challenges young people face when leaving the care system, our Care to Go Higher CPD programme gives the key influencers of care-experienced young people the tools they need to support informed decision making in relation to HE.
Care professionals will attend sessions that include information about HE, resources, activities and guest speakers. This will enable them to be more informed about the interaction of care-experience and HE, which they can share with those for whom they are providing care.
Read our evaluation reports at the bottom of the page to find out more about the programme, how it increased participant knowledge, and feedback from those who have completed it.
