Who Cares? About Education helps to level out the playing field for young people in care by equipping them with the tools that they need to succeed. Moving schools and changing subjects can all too easily unnerve a child who is far too used to moving around. This engaging and tongue-in-cheek guide supports young people in care through these important stages and decisions, from what to expect from their first day at secondary school to making friends, gaining work experience, tackling bullying and choosing their GCSE options.
There are lots of procedures in place to make school life easier for children in care, but many young people don’t know or understand what they are entitled to – it’s simply never been explained to them in an accessible way. This publication is different. It doesn’t preach or patronize: it tells young people exactly what they need to know in a light-hearted and down-to-earth manner. From explaining what personal education plans and designated teachers are, to preparing their Pathway Plan, this booklet tells young people everything that their school should be doing to help them, and also suggests things that they can do to help themselves.
Written in the same chatty style as the Who Cares? magazine, together with inspirational quotes from celebrities who didn’t find school too easy themselves, Who Cares? about Education reassures children in care that they don’t have to be academic to get lots out of school. It also encourages them to understand the significance of education on their future life chances, so that they can start next phase of their lives with much more to offer.
An excerpt from Who Cares? about Education:
“School. Like it or loathe it, there’s no getting away from it. So, the savvy thing to do is to make sure you’ve got the survival skills to get through school life without losing your mind, your friends, your temper or your lunch money. If Ray Mears was lost in the urban jungle, this would be his guidebook. Less bush tucker, more Mars Bars. Not so much choosing a good campsite as choosing the right GCSEs. OK? You get the idea.”
