Leaving Care

 

This honest documentary explores four stories of young people leaving the care system.

Used as part of National Leaving Care Week Conference Cornwall October 2009.

"It was fantastic working with Awen on the Careleavers film project. It was a really useful and educational process for the young people who took part, both in exploring the issue and learning how to make a documentary. On a wider scale, it had a big impact at the Careleavers Conference last year, bringing to life the issues and barriers that careleavers face with much positive feedback from the audience. We have also been providing the link to your website in our newsletters and distributing copies to other interested organisations so it has been an important part of our arts work raising awareness."  Claire Knight, Carefree Informal Ed Coordinator
