Supporting Care Experienced Parents Transition to University - ExChange Wales

Care experienced people may face numerous transitions throughout their lives, many of them relating to education. Whether it’s moving schools due to moving placements, transitioning to post-16 education, or making the jump to university, every transition has its own challenges – and opportunities. Here, CASCADE’s Hannah Bayfield (who researches care experienced young people’s experiences of higher education) and Lorna Stabler (who has lived experience of being a care experienced student as well as being a fellow CASCADE researcher) discuss Lorna’s own journey, sources of support and tips for transitions into HE.

Gall pobl â phrofiad gofal wynebu nifer o drosglwyddiadau drwy gydol eu bywydau, llawer ohonynt yn ymwneud ag addysg. P'un a yw'n symud ysgolion oherwydd symud lleoliadau, pontio i addysg ôl-16, neu wneud y naid i'r brifysgol, mae gan bob cyfnod pontio ei heriau ei hun – a’i gyfleoedd. Yma, mae Hannah Bayfield CASCADE (sy'n ymchwilio i brofiadau pobl ifanc o addysg uwch) a Lorna Stabler (sydd â phrofiad byw o fod yn fyfyriwr profiadol gofal yn ogystal â bod yn gyd-ymchwilydd CASCADE) yn trafod taith Lorna ei hun, ffynonellau cymorth ac awgrymiadau ar gyfer trosglwyddo i addysg uwch.
