澳门银河网上如何支持你
护理离职者是如何定义的?
A care leaver is someone who has been in the care of their local authority for a period of 13 weeks or more around their 16th birthday.
This could have been in foster care or residential accommodation. If you are under the age of 25 and this definition applies to you, then you should be receiving 支持 from your local authority's Leaving Care Team to come to university.
然而, 在格林尼治大学, we will still provide 支持 even if you have been in care for just one day.
Confidentiality is important to us and we will always respect this and will not share your information with anyone without your consent.
