The government is committed to improving the outcomes of care leavers. To support this, in March 2019, the department published a set of principles to guide the higher education sector on improving care leavers\u2019 access and participation. A copy of the principles is available at the following link: https://mycovenant.org.uk/featured-signatories/educational/<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> As part of its drive to galvanise the support that wider civil society can provide to support care leavers, the government has launched the Care Leaver Covenant. This asks organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors, including higher education providers, to commit to help care leavers to successfully transition from care to independence, by setting out clearly what support they can offer.<\/p> <\/p>
