Call for ideas for National Leavers' Week 2010

Scottish Throughcare and Aftercare Forum - Debate Project have joined forces with the Care Leavers' Association (CLA), Who Cares? Scotland and Scottish Institute for Residential Childcare (SIRCC) to highlight the work that we have all been doing this last year, in particular, to challenge the discrimination and stigma young and older care leavers face from the public and the media.

Join us in Celebrating National Care Leavers' Week on 26 - 30 October and raise awareness of the stigma and discrimination that care leavers face. 

We invite your ideas of how we can highlight the work that is being done across Scotland to celebrate National Care Leavers' Week 2010 together. There are a number of group meetings planned throughout next year to make the next National Care Leavers' Week a big success. We are interested in your ideas, inspiration and innovation which will help us do this.

What are you going to be doing in your local area? How are you celebrating this week with the care leavers you work with?

If you are a care leaver, what types of events would you want to see from National Care Leavers' Week?

Please email your thoughts and ideas to our partner Zachari Duncalf, zachari.duncalf@strath.ac.uk
