Welcome to the Care Leavers' Association website.
Have a look around. If you are a care leaver, why not join us? We also welcome anyone else who agrees with our goals. If you'd like to meet up with people that you were in care with then why not join CareleaversReunited as well? Feel free to tell us your ideas, come to our meetings or just keep coming back here from time to time.
At the moment our main priorities are: our campaign on Access to Records and supporting the Jersey Care Leavers' Association (JCLA) in their campaign for justice, as well as coordinating the UK-side of the campaign. However, we cover a range of issues that are relevant to care leavers. Just explore the sections of our website to find out more.
We are also a membership organisation and open to anyone, over the age of 18, who spent all or part of their childhood in care. Find out more through the 'Get Involved' pages.
If you would like to find out more, contact the office on 0845 308 2755 or email

CLA New Project for Young Care Leavers’ from Black and Minority Ethnic Backgrounds |
|
|
|
|
The CLA has received funding this year to run a project with young people in care and young care leavers from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. The project will include an event in central Manchester on 2 June 2010, which will allow young people to speak about the issues that are important to them and express their opinions about the changes they think should be made. Following the event, there will be a report of the young people’s views. We also hope to get a group of young people together to take part in 3-4 follow-up sessions to take forward issues raised by young people during the day.
