Care Leavers' Association

An ever growing union of care leavers

 

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.
