Young Peoples Experiences

It doesn’t matter how old you are or at what stage you are involved with the Leaving Care Team – it’s always good to find out how other young people felt before they left the care system or how they coped. 

This section contains sound clips of young people talking about their experiences of leaving care.

Just click on the names below to hear their stories!

Remember to switch up your volume!

If you would like to add your experiences to this collection please contact Lee or Sean on 0191 424 4633 or 0191427 2830.

If you have another experience of the care system then you can post your stories to the site in the Real Life Experiences Section of the main DoUCare site by clicking here.
