This Care Leavers Week, read about the new apps on the block.

It's been a busy few months of design and development here at Focusgov - all building to the exciting launch of 4 brand new and 1 redesigned app for care experienced young people!

With Care Leavers Week here this week, we are delighted to announce the apps supporting the young people leaving care in the South West, in Blackpool, in Nottingham City, in South Ayrshire and in Cheshire East.

Developed in partnership with those Local Authorities, these bespoke apps help and support care experienced young people with their Local Offer entitlements, with a home of their own, and with accessing education, training, and apprenticeships. What's more, we have worked in collaboration with UCAS, NNECL and Become on Higher Education content specific to your young people's individual needs - and we have made this content free to all our clients, new and existing.

And that’s not all – the apps help your young people access discounts & offersand informs them of events in their area. They can look after their finances with the Budget Planner and can check out the latest Jobs and Opportunities in their area. They can stay in touch with the latest news through a social media-style Newsfeed and stay in touch with their PAs through secure messaging. Plus the unlimited surveys give them a voice and let them have their say.

Fully accessible and available in over 100 languages the apps are compliant with ISO27001, ISO9001, Cyber Essentials certified, and developed to meet WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Standards.

Happy National Care Leavers Week!
