Higher Education Taster Day for Care-experienced Students

Care-experienced students and their parents, carers, guardians and/or a friend of their choice are invited to attend a fun-filled day at the University of Essex.

This experience will help attendees become aware of the opportunities offered at university and increase their confidence in their ability to make informed decisions about their next steps. It will also provide support for parents, carers, and guardians and increase their knowledge and confidence in supporting their young person progress into higher education.

The day will include a subject taster, workshops, a tour of the campus, lunch, goody bags, specific support and guidance for care leavers/estranged students that are available at university, and more.  Please view the full programme below.

If you'd like to make a booking, every student attending will need a parent/carer/guardian to read the information letter and complete the online consent form. We'll then be in touch!

Lunch and travel expenses are included. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions.
