Children and young people with experience of care
Children and young people with experience of care
Introduction
In 2023, we launched a three-year programme of Fellowships focused on Children and Young People with Experience of Care.
A Fellowship funds you to spend 4-8 weeks meeting and learning from leading innovators in your field around the world in order to share and implement that learning in the UK.
In this programme, we are seeking applications that aim to improve the lives and outcomes of children and young people with experience of care. More information is below and you can sign up for application alerts by email here.

Applications have closed for this year. We will re-open in September 2025.
We are seeking applications that aim to improve the lives and outcomes of children and young people with experience of care. This includes children in care, those on the edge of care, adoptees and care-leavers. We also welcome applications that aim to increase support for caregivers and for families affected by care concerns.
We welcome applications from anyone who has contact with young people in care. We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience of care themselves, as well as foster carers, kinship carers and adopters. We’re also very keen to hear from researchers, educators, social workers and those in the health, charity, justice and education sectors.
Fellows in this programme form part of a dedicated community specialising in this area, with tailored opportunities for support and networking in this field.
This programme is offered in partnership with Coram Group and The Hadley Trust. It is guided by our Children in Care Working Group of Fellows and other experts in this field.
Fellows awarded in previous years have carried out projects in this area. See some examples of their impact stories here.
We recognise our responsibility to the environment through our Fellowship programme and our operations. Our progress on this is explained here.
