Continuing Care whilst Attending University

In 2022, CELCIS created a series of resources on Continuing Care.

If you click through to their website here you can access their information video on Continuing Care whilst attending University. Through the eyes of Emma, you can find out more about the challenges and thoughts of someone trying to understand continuing care and how they might apply to you. Here’s a bit more about her story:

“Emma is 18, lives with foster carers and starts her first year at university soon. She wants to live in student halls but worries about where she will live over the summer. Her part time job isn't enough to pay for rent on a flat, and she isn't sure if she can go back to her home with her foster carers. Emma is beginning to panic as she doesn't know whether she can go to university without sorting this out.”

Remember to talk to someone you trust such as your connector or someone at The Why Not? Trust about any big decisions that affect your future. Alternatively, you can click here to find out more about the helplines that specialise in your rights to continuing care.
