Care Experience Week
Established in 2002, National Care Leavers week was an event created to celebrate the opportunities and challenges that come with young people transitioning to independence. In 2018, this was changed to Care Experienced Week, and the theme of this year's Care Experience Week aimed to focus on personal achievements, encouraging young people to share their accomplishments through #MoreThanMyCE. CELCIS shared a mixture of new and older content including information on participation, continuing care, mentoring and help for students.
A young person who is currently a mentee with MCR Pathways and their mentor, Lorna Tilsley, discuss how their relationship has developed over time.

This briefing is for all practitioners involved in writing, managing and/or supporting access to care records.
If you are a ‘looked after’ young person living with foster carers, kinship carers or you live in residential care this is important information for you.
