I feel privileged to have taught such an inspiring young woman. @ShaunnaDevine8 is a passionate advocate and budding researcher. Come on @educationgovuk end the #carecliff and give young people leaving care certainty about their future. #NCLW2020 @LJMU
#WhenIwas18 I was lucky to get a place at uni. I was traumatised by the care system but supported by people around me.This allowed me to start a new life. Not many people in care have this opportunity. This care leavers week im asking @educationgovuk to end #carecliff
