@AfC_VS “The barriers care experienced young people have to overcome are immense: school moves, placement moves, changes of social worker, lack of familiarity with areas they are moved to and cultural mismatches”. Professionals need to be organised to remove these barriers. https://t.co/nytVpAum9c 1 week ago

AfC Virtual School supports the education of all children and young people looked after who come into care in the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond and Windsor & Maidenhead and all those who have been previously looked after. Every Virtual School headteacher must ensure that the educational achievement of both children looked after and previously looked-after children is seen as a priority by all those who have a responsibility for promoting their welfare.
This website offers information, guidance and signposting for adoptive parents, guardians and carers and for school staff who work with previously looked-after children. If you wish to return to the AfC Virtual School site for children looked after please use the Children looked-after button below.
