Abstract
Accessing higher education can be an important marker of success for young people, yet research estimates that only around 12 percent of care leavers go on to study at university. In a climate of ‘widening participation’ in which universities encourage inclusion and student diversity, this research invited care experienced students to share their journeys through care and their transitions to university life. This report focuses particularly on the issues affecting care experienced students in their journey to and through university. The recommendations at the end of this report highlight the steps that universities can take in order to support their students through this transition and improve outcomes for their care experienced students.
