Focus Areas

We are currently focusing on three areas of activity: 

+ Outcomes research and data – Focusing on data and the importance of robust, up-to-date statistics that will help us better understand this group of students and advocate for better support. 

+ Care Leaver Month & Estranged Students Solidarity Week – Bringing together activity happening across these awareness raising moments to have greater impact collectively.

+ Structural responsibility – Collectively working together to address the disparities in support for care experienced & estranged students through things like universal local offer support from LA’s, engagement with NNECL quality mark and CLC HEI engagement activity. 

Each area of activity is led by a member organisation who is responsible for convening CLEESinHE members, as well as external experts, to drive forward change, reporting progress to our bi-monthly group meetings.
