Is this event for me?
This event is for new students starting at Staffordshire University who are care experienced.
Our definition of care experienced is someone who, at any stage of their life, and for any length of time, has been in care e.g., looked after by the local authority. This includes the following:
- spent time in the care of the local authority (e.g. foster care or children’s home)
- privately fostered
- ‘looked after at home’ under a supervision order
- in kinship foster care (where a friend or family member becomes the foster carer). Kinship care through a formal arrangement, recognised by a Local Authority, and could be prior to a Special Guardianship Order.
This event is a brilliant opportunity to make sure you’re equipped with the knowledge you’ll need to have a great start to your studies. You’ll also get the opportunity to meet support staff from the Money and Guidance Team before you officially start your studies with us.
