Ealing Cares App launches during Care Leavers week 2023
Ealing Council have launched their Care Leavers App, named "Ealing Cares" in partnership with focusgov. The app is assured to transform experiences for care leavers in Ealing, providing crucial information such as their local offer, real-time apprenticeships, bespoke surveys and messaging to those transitioning into independent adulthood.
"Ealing Cares" is not just an app; it aims to empower care leavers in their transition to independence and is available as a website. By consolidating a wide range of resources and information into one accessible platform, the app equips care leavers with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions and set achievable goals. This empowerment goes a long way in fostering resilience and self-reliance among care leavers, helping them navigate the challenges of adulthood with confidence.
The Care Leavers app is a one-stop destination for all essential information, with a co-produced user-friendly design ensuring that this wealth of information is easily accessible to those who need it most.
Understanding the importance of community and keeping in touch, "Ealing Cares" incorporates features that allow care leavers to connect with the team, feedback their wishes and feelings and keep up to date with changes.
By launching this app, Ealing Council has shown its dedication to the well-being and success of care leavers, setting a remarkable example for other local authorities to follow.
