We acknowledge that while data and professional knowledge are important, meaningful, positive change is best driven by experience.
The HUB is a unique hybrid model working directly with care-experienced people, partners, and stakeholders.
Together we champion the continuous improvement of local practice, multi-agency partnerships and national collaboration to inspire more care-experience people to consider getting in, staying in or returning to education.
At the Hub we've had lots of chat about this - heard from people who've been happy to #tickthebox as well as those who are less keen... understand all positions but our advice would always be to let UCAS and your uni/college know that you're care experienced.
If you choose to #TickTheBox on your UCAS application, that information will only be shared with those who are involved in offering support. Your friends, lecturers and teachers won’t know unless you choose to tell them, and it will never be used to discriminate against you.
