‘Being a student with care experience is very daunting’ – CELCIS Report

CELCIS carried out, on behalf of the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), the first Scotland wide survey of care experienced students in Scotland’s colleges and universities. The online survey was carried out between 27 November 2018 and 6 January 2019. This research is based on the HERACLES (Harrison 2017) research conducted with care experienced university students in England and aimed to broaden and deepen understanding of the barriers and enablers that care experienced students encounter in going to, being at and staying at college and university in Scotland.

To support further discussion and debate, we also raise some key questions and talking points.
