Next steps: what is the experience of students from a care background in education?

On Thursday 17 November we will be releasing new research around care experienced students.

Posted Wed 2 November 2022

In this report, we examine the progression of the 9,000 care-experienced individuals who applied to HE in 2022. Alongside analysis of UCAS application data, we also conducted a survey of 500 applicants who shared a care background as they looked towards starting their studies in autumn 2022. The report explores their experience in education to date, along with how their circumstances have influenced their choices.

Join Nicola Turner, Senior Fair Access Adviser, Emily Bennett, Lead Data Scientist, Catherine Hepple, Communications Lead, all at UCAS, and Fiona Ellison, Director - Unite and Arron Pile, Campus & Residence Life Manager - University of Salford Manchester, as we unpick the findings at 11:00 on Thursday 17 November.

The webinar will talk you through the key findings and provide recommendations as to how you could better support care-experienced students transitioning to HE.
