Corporate Parenting in Colleges
College Development Network are offering a free, online course for all staff working in Scotland’s colleges and students’ associations focused on Corporate Parenting.
What Is Corporate Parenting?
Colleges are Corporate Parents, which means under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 colleges must work to uphold the rights and safeguard the wellbeing of ‘looked after’ children and young people, and care leavers aged under 26.
The course was co-produced with care experienced students meaning the insight they have brought to the development of the course will equip staff to support care experienced students.
This course outlines some of the reasons why, for some care experienced students, college can be particularly challenging. It has been designed to take around two hours to complete.
