Conviction

Description

The CLA works with all care leavers over the age of 16. We are guided by the views of our membership and thus have a wide range of areas of interest and activity. However, our work can be grouped into five main areas:

• User Led Support - A Network Project, group support, social networking site and virtual mechanisms to help people connect.
• Projects - Areas of work with specific outcomes - young people, access to records, speaking out, media.
• Training and Assessment - We work with a wide range of organisations to improve service delivery to care leavers through training and quality assessment.
• Advice, information and signposting - Focus on informing care leavers about their rights through signposting to additional support services and developing our guides and fact sheets while providing some individual casework.
• Research, Policy and Campaigns - We conduct, collate and promote research about care leavers
