Become a signatory of the Covenant by signing up your institution below.
Sign-up
Signing the Care Leaver Covenant is a visible commitment to care experienced students. It signals to a number of stakeholders, including students, staff, and the Department for Education that improving outcomes is a strategic priority.
This is more than adding a logo to your website; it is adopting a way of operating that keeps care experience in mind at every level, from outreach and admissions through on-course support, wellbeing, progression, employment and in to your local community.
By joining, you become part of a national collective that listens, learns and leads together. Many care experienced applicants look for clear signals of priority support; your Covenant commitment helps them feel confident choosing you. It also demonstrates your readiness to evolve practice and to celebrate impact with peers across the sector.

Your signature is a first-stage commitment that acknowledges a way of working, which opens the door for deeper institutional collaboration. From there, we offer an optional diagnostic tool and a structured, whole-institution narrative of support.
