Throughout the week we’ll also be posting quotes from our upcoming report on the experiences of young people leaving care during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research, carried out in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast, gathered the experiences of young people earlier this year, and will help us better understand how to support them in the future.
