Our Liverpool Team Advocates for Care-Experienced Youth at Learner Agreement Launch
04 07 24
🎉 As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, we're thrilled to share highlights from the recent Learner Agreement Launch event attended by our Liverpool Team at The City of Liverpool College, aimed at supporting our care-experienced young people in college settings.
Peter Glover, Sandy Parry, Vicky Moran, and Joe Pacheco represented us brilliantly, networking with local authorities and various services. Jenny Turnross, Director of Children's Services, opened the event with inspiring words, followed by key pledges from Social Care, The Virtual School, City of Liverpool College, Housing (Bedspace), and a student representative.
Sandy and Joe proudly presented the housing pledges drafted by young people. Some of our Bedspace youth were even featured in the launch video, highlighting their voices at the heart of this agreement. These pledges reinforce our commitment to ensuring the best outcomes for young people in care and care leavers in post-16 education and training.
The event concluded with discussions on the long-term implementation of the agreement and potential involvement from other local authorities.
"We understand our role and the responsibilities we have to every young person in our care, and the Learner Agreement is a pledge of our commitment that the right support will always be available to everyone."
- City of Liverpool College
