Objective5 and Artivities
The purposes of the charity are for the relief of adults who have spent some or all of their childhood
in care by associating together said persons, local authorities, statutory agencies and other
organisations by:
Providing advice, guidance and support so that care leavers may fulfil their potential as
individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved.
Advancing education of the public service providers and the medi3 by providing information,
training and advice on the issues affecting care leavers with the object of ending negative
stereotyping and social inclusion.
Improving care services for care leavers and those still in care.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and in setting the
policies for the year.
The charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through:
User Led Support- local group support meetings across the country and care leaver led
support from our national off ice.
Projects- young person-led projects, access to care records, development of independent
living skills, criminal justice policy and support, health.
Training and Assessment- work with a wide range of organisations to improve service
delivery to care leavers through training and quality assessment.

THE CARE LEAVERS, ASSOCIATION
Advice, information and signposting- informing care leavers about rights and signposting to
additional support services, developing our guides and providing some individual casework.
Research, Policy and Campaigns - conduct, collate and promote research about care leavers
and produce policy guides to raise awareness of care leaver issues. We campaign on issues
to both improve the quality of life of adult care leavers and change the existing care system.
Contributing to national and local policy and practice
Structurei governance and management
The Care Leavers, Association is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and
th
Articles of Association dated 12 August 2004. It is registered as a charity with the Charity
th
Commission (dated 9 November 2005}.
Appointment of Trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, the number of Trustees shall not be less than 3 or more than
16. Up to 13 people can be elected from the membership and up to 3 people may be co-opted by
the Executive for their particular skills.
Trustee induction and training
Trustees receive a copy of the Trustee Handbook outlining the organisation and its work. Trustees
attend a training day and are given a more experienced Trustee as a mentor. A skills audit is taken
every year and training arranged as appropriate.
Organisation
The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The Board normally meets every two months. A Chief
Executive {National Director) is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of
the charity.
Related parties and co-operation with other organisations
None of our Trustees re￿1ve remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any
connection between a Trustee or senior manager with any service providers must be disclosed to
the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party.
In the current year, no such related party tran5artions were reported.
A review of our achievements and performance
We started the year with limited personnel resources. The National Director was our only full-time
member of staff supported by part-time staff on the CJS project. The Young Person's Consultant was
also working part-time and took maternity leave from August as she welcomed a beautiful baby girl
to the world. However, we received wonderful news in March 2023 that the National Lottery had
agreed to fund a new project focusing on older care leavers. We recruited a new team that started
to work on 'Care Leavers Connected" from 3epieTnber ZOZ3. A5 part of thls work, we in?tlsated a
new project management system which helped to foster better team collaboration and improve the
effectiveness of the project initiation phase. Also, we renewed the lease on our current office base in
central Manchester.

THE CARE LEAVERS, ASSOCIATION
Poli
Work
Our main policy focus remained campaigning to improve the regulation and quality of
accommodation provided for 16/17-year-old young people in care. This was part of the "Keep Caring
to 18" campaign alongside numerous other organisations and individuals. Although the government
outlawed the use of "unregulated" accommodation, they established, through Ofsted, a new
regulatory framework. We submitted a response to the Ofsted consultation on the framework after
consulting with care leavers. We felt that the new framework would not resolve the issues that
resulted for young people from living in "unregulated" accommodation. In particular, we felt the
absence of the provision of personal adult care and only providing 'support' would be detrimental to
the health and wellbeing of young people in this type of accommodation. We continued to lobby
both Ofsted and the Department for Education to improve the regulations.
As part of the government response to the report from The Independent Review into Children's
Social Care Ipublished in 20221. we were invited to input into government working groups on
Corporate Parenting and Care Leavers in FE/HE. We fully support the extension of Corporate
Parenting (CPI to all public bodies and the strengthening of the CP principles to become
responsibilities, where public bodies can be measured on their results.
Pro
Care Leavers Connected
We set up this project as a direct result of our strategic planning weekend in 2022. We wanted to
significantly expand our capacity to support older adults with a care background. Younger care
leavers, those up to the age of 25, need considerable support. However, government policy and
practice, both nationally and locally, provides various forms of support. Moreover, there are
number of charities who specialise in providing extra advice and support for this group. Care leavers
over the age of 25 have long been a relatively neglected group. However, there is growing
recognition of their existence and of their support needs. This particularly applies in the areas of
mental health, access to care records, parenting and education.
ects
In September 2023 we recruited 3 new team members and began the process of project initiation.
The project has 3 distinct areas.. 11 Connecting, both online and in person; 21 Identity. through social
care files; 31 Support, through resources, advice and programs. We officially launched the project at
our AGM in March 2024. Key highlights included that we:
Established an Editorial Board and developed a framework for our Care Leavers Connected
magazine
Carried out training and began to respond to Access to Records enquiries received by email
and phone
Worked on the development the Care Leavers Connected website
Planne(J the first series of in-person meetings for London, Manchester and Birmingham for
2024
Attended a series of public events to begin networking the Care Leavers Connected project

THE CARE LEAVERS. ASSOCIATION
Young Persons (YPP}
We continued to provide support for the lived experience input into a collaborative research project
led by Warwick University exploring Innovation in Leaving Care Services. As part of this we co-
authored research papers. The research found that there needed to be 5 key ingredients to
implement and sustain innovation: Organisational receptivity to innovation, co-production with
service users, leadership dynamics, adaptation and learning to sustain and scale, and measurement
of outcomes.
We supported several care leavers to input into an ongoing consultation process led by Ofsted to
improve the focus of children's social care inspections.
We undertook 6 focus groups with young care leavers.
We continued to support our YP Coordinator to undertake a PhD.
Criminal Justice
The focus of our criminal justice work has mainly been at a policy level. We reviewed and analysed
our work around criminal justice over the last 10 years and produced 3 policy briefings: 11 "Care
Leavers and Criminal Justice- findings from the last 10 years" 2) "Care Leavers, Trauma and The
Justice System" and 31 "Pathways In and Out of the system" We used these briefings to campaign
for change. Our CJS report from 2018 was read 1,506 times on the website.
We have engaged with teams at the Ministry of Justice and Prisons and Probation Service to
encourage them to be more strategic when developing and implementing policies to support care
leavers throughout the criminal justice system. Linked to this, we remain committed to SUPPOrting
the Prisons and Probation Service Care Leaver Strategy Board. We contributed to the development
of "Care Experience Matters" a poSicy guide that sets out how prisons, probation and local
authorities can better work together to ensure that care leavers receive the correct support.
We have engaged with 12 prisons over the year to support them to improve their practice.
Promoting the lived experience is a key aspect of our work. We interviewed 6 care leaver5 about
their experience of the criminal justice system. We aim to showcase the inteniiews on our website
to support professionals to improve their practice and to provide inspiration to other care leavers.
We continued to support a small number of prisons Wlth their care leaver peer support groups.
As a result of funding from the Mace Foundation, we were able to run 2 cohorts of the 'Clear
Appr03ch' program in Weatherby YOI. The Mace funding also allowed us to support the families of
care leavers wlln ir3vel c05l5 $0 ihat they could v1311 thc young ptople more often.
University Research
As part of The EXIT research with Warwick University, we were commissioned to undertake a
separate piece of research investigating innovations in mental health and wellbeing work with care

THE CARE LEAVERS, ASSOCIATION
leavers. We interviewed 10 professionals from the public sector and 3 from the charity sector.
Interviews were conducted by trained care leavers.
As part of the COACHES research with Cambridge University we provided support to the care leavers
on the qualitative research group and took part in the analysis of 80 case notes of young people with
social work involvement who had an interaction with the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service.
We also supported recruitment for a study into self-harm and suicidal thoughts amongst care
leavers.
Health
Throughout the year. we continued to promote the health needs of care leavers to policymakers and
sector organisations including webinars with the Florence Nightingale Foundation and The Royal
College of Paediatrics and Child Health. Our health reports and commissioning tools were
downloaded 1,826 times. These were by far the most popular downloads from our website.
Access To Records
Providing support to care leavers continues to be a core part of our work. We helped 177 care
leavers to access their social care files. Alongside this we continued to work with the Access To
Records Campaign Group to improve the practice of local authorities in relation to subject acces5
requests and social care files.
Zoom Social Support
During the covid pandemic we established a monthly online social session. As this proved to be
popul3r, we continued to offer this as part of our core work. During the year, we had 216 care
leavers attend the sessions. Many did so multiple times, building up a core of regular attender5. The
sessions are a mix of open and topic-based discussion. They are run by care leavers for care leavers
and provide a safe and supportive space.
Other areas of work
We supported a care leaver psychotherapist to establish a monthly therapy group for care leavers.
We need more of this type of provision, and we look fonvard to evaluating the process and exploring
the possibility of expanding in the future.
We provided advice and guidance to 109 care leavers of all ages.
Financial review
Over the course of this year, we received our largest ever amount of donations. We are extremely
grateful to 311 those individua15 who decided that our work was worth supporting. We also continued
to receive a good level of income from our research collaborations with universities. Thi5 is an area
where we would Ilke to expand In tne fuiure. Aslcle from the National Lottery* we rtGelYEGI no oth¢r
major Erant income during this period. Trustees have indicated that we will be focusing on
fundraising in the near future to ensure the sustainability of the org3nisation. This will be challenging
in what has become a very competitive charity sector.

THE CARE LEAVERS, ASSOCIATION
Investment powers and policy
The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, will keep available
funds in an interest-bearing deposit account.
Reserves policy and going concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31" March 2024 was £70,795 of which £69,985 are free
reserves after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestrirted funds at a level which equates to
approximately 3 months of unrestricted charitable expenditure, with a long-term aim of 6 months.
Risk Management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems
have been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
We recruited some new trustees at the AGM in March 2024. Once they are settled in and have a
good grasp of our work, we will be holding a Strategy Weekend in September to begin the process of
developing a new strategic plan for the coming 3 years. However, our main focus will be to continue
with the delivery and development of 'Care Leavers Connected,. Although our funding for criminal
justice work will officially end in 2024, we will continue to engage with policymakers and support
professionals. Also, our experience of working with universities has made us eager to undertake
more in-depth research studies to provide evidence that highlights some of the challenges faced by
care leavers.

charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from you as truste¢s concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view. and the report is limited to those matters set
out in the statement below.
Independent examiner s statement
In connection with my examination, other than that disclosed below, no matter has come to my
attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
