focusgov and Spectra First to deliver Care Leavers Covenant App

We are excited to announce that focusgov will be working with Spectra First to create a new App for the Care Leaver Covenant.

The Covenant, which will be officially launched in October 2018, is a key part of the Keep on Caring Strategy and aims to improve the support and opportunities available to young people when they leave care. Following a competitive tender process, Spectra First were chosen by the Department for Education as the delivery partner for the Covenant.

The new App is currently under development by our project team and will be based around our existing Care Leavers App which is already being used by several local authorities to publish a local offer for their care leavers. It will give young people an easy and convenient way to find both local and national Covenant offers, using technology they already use in their day to day lives.

We look forward to launching the App in October and the part it will play in providing more support and opportunities for young people leaving care.
