Support for care experienced people taking apprenticeships
Here, we outline what you need to know if you’re interested in an apprenticeship as a care experienced student.
Supporting children from UK Armed Forces families (Service children)
If a student's parent(s) or carer(s) is serving as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or has done so in the past, their experience of going to university may be different to their non-Service peers. This guide explains how you can practically support Service children along their journey to higher education.
Supporting children with imprisoned parents
