Description

Care Experience and Estrangement as an EDI Issue

Care-experienced and estranged people often face significant barriers to participation, belonging, educational success, employment, and wellbeing. Yet these experiences are frequently overlooked within organisational approaches to equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

This interactive session explores why care experience and estrangement should be recognised as EDI issues and what this means for organisations seeking to create more inclusive environments.

Topics include:

• Understanding care experience and estrangement
• Structural inequalities and barriers to participation
• Belonging, identity, and support networks
• The relationship between trauma, poverty, and exclusion
• Why care experience is increasingly recognised within EDI frameworks
• Practical implications for policy, practice, and organisational culture
• Moving beyond awareness towards meaningful action

• Widening Participation Teams
