Welcome to the Leaving Care Professionals’ Hub where you will find our latest news, videos and podcasts.
“NLCBF has supported our Local authority in our journey of developing our service and has contributed to so many successful ideas that have been implemented. We would not have had such a positive Ofsted without the support, benchmarking ideas and challenge of the forum. The forum has particularly helped us develop our participation offer and our young people have gained so much from being part of the national events.”
James Hollingworth, Service Manager, Derbyshire
NLCBF run events throughout the year for leaving care practitioners, managers and care experienced young people and a number of specialist networks. Our events focus on sharing good practice, hearing the voice of care experienced young people & sharing the latest policy & research updates.

We work closely with the Department for Education, other government departments, Ofsted & leaving care organisations to raise the voices of young people and to use the collective voice of the forum to influence priorities for policy that will make a difference to care experienced young people.
