Video learning during National Care Leavers Week 2009

National Care Leavers Week 2009: Stand and Deliver! is all about sharing good practice and looking at what corporate parents around the UK are doing to turn the opportunities in the 2008 Children and Young Person's Act into better lives for children leaving care.

Visit this page daily during National Care Leavers Week for videos featuring projects in Torfaen, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Nottingham, Camden and Stockport.

Each video offers crucial learnings from council practitioners and powerful experiences from care leavers themselves on some of the key issues for care leavers; housing, mental health, life skills, education/employment and belonging. 

The first video in the series, addressing the subject of housing, goes live on Monday 26th October.
