We conducted research with 234
care experienced university students
in England and Wales to explore
the factors that promoted access
to higher education. We found that
embedded support significantly aided
positive transitions to university life.
This report addresses shortfalls in support and
highlights examples of best practice
identified by care experienced
students. The report concludes with recommendations for universities, made jointly with Care Leaver Covenant (CLC).<div><br></div><div>The subsequent findings report from this project, Pathways to University - The Journey Through Care, is available here: </div><div><a href="https://doi.org/10.15131/shef.data.13247639" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">10.15131/shef.data.13247639</a> <br></div>
