Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Howell (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 19 November 2018 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Care Leavers: Employment

Question

What work is the Minister doing with Barnardo’s, and what impact is the See Potential programme having?

Answer

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to my right hon. Friend the Member for Tatton (Ms McVey), who made it a personal priority of hers to introduce Barnardo’s not only to help train and improve the guidance for all of our frontline staff, but to offer a comprehensive work experience programme and opportunities for care leavers. This is a vital part of our See Potential work, as we unlock their undoubted potential.
