About Course

The BSL Leaving Care team has developed a suite of eLearning modules to supplement our delivery of training sessions for the care and post care sector.

This module is designed as an overview to support you to:

• Understand the need and purpose of the Better Futures service
• Recognise the case for a different approach to working with young people transitioning from care
• Consider different practices for emerging adults
• Be aware of supporting resources and able to access them.

You will find links throughout the module to more in-depth information and resources. Some of these can also be accessed via the Better Futures Hub Practice Resources page.
