Provider: Essex County Council
Name: Care leaver research project
Essex County Council was invited by Anglia Ruskin University to participate in a comparative peer research study exploring the experiences of care leavers in Finland and the UK. The lead researcher, Maritta Torronen, a professor at the University of Helsinki, was awarded a scholarship and funding from the European Union to undertake the research, and five members of the Essex Children in Care Council received intensive training to become skilled researchers.
The group worked intensively to deliver 24 peer-on-peer interviews with care leavers across the county, exploring what support they receive and goals and hopes for the future.
