The HE Handbook V2 now available to download

Choosing which university to go to is an important and potentially difficult decision for all young people. They have to think about what course to do, which part of the country to go to and where they will live. It can be an even greater struggle for care leavers who face additional questions about who will help them with the cost, what support they will get and where they will live during vacations.
The Who Cares? Trust has made these decisions a bit easier by publishing 'The H.E Handbook'. It is a guide for care leavers which, for the first time, tells them exactly what each higher education institution across the country offers to care-experienced students.
First published in December 2011, the guide contains information on over 100 institutions, including what outreach work they do, what bursaries and grants are available and what welfare and accommodation support care leavers can expect.
Version 2 includes:
- Updated information provided by higher education institutions
- An index of institutions, sorted by name and region
This essential resource is available free of charge and will be updated regularly to ensure it has the best possible information for care leavers.
