In July 2024 Professor Julie Selwyn and Dr. Claire Baker joined other researchers at a workshop to explore outcomes for care leavers. Convened by Dr. Nikki Luke from the Rees Centre the project brought together researchers, care-experienced facilitators, representatives from national and local government teams, and charities supporting care leavers, to participate in a research-informed discussion of what these measures might look like.
Along with other researchers Claire and Julie presented findings from their work on the Bright Spots Programme and New Belongings project. A report detailing recommendations from the work has been produced.
