At Doncaster College we recognise that sometimes young people
with experiences of being in care sometimes want or need a little
extra support.
We are committed to ensuring our looked after young people and
care leavers receive the best opportunities and support to
succeed.
Our Educational Champion for Looked After Children will offer
each young person personalised support, which can include the
following:
- Outreach work
- Advice and guidance
- Enrichment opportunities
- Retention and progression support
- Advocating on your behalf
- Accommodation issues
- Support in accessing services
- One to one sessions
You can self refer by contacting Natalie directly on the number
below or you could ask your key worker / social worker to make
contact on your behalf.

Children In Care Council
This year Doncaster College is teaming up with the local
authority and the Children’s Rights Service to develop a Children
In Care Council. The CIC Council will meet fortnightly and discuss
issues important to looked after young people and care leavers. The
agenda will be entirely influenced by young people and this is the
opportunity to have your views heard.
