Our HUB model can transform the prospects of young people in care – Lorraine Moore

Lorraine Moore - The Scotsman

In this opinion piece for the Scotsman, Lorraine Moore, Manager of the Edinburgh-based HUB for SUCCESS, expressed concern over the implications of COVID-19 on children in care and care-experienced young people. "I worry that the pandemic could create a lost generation by reducing vulnerable youngsters’ contact with the teachers who so often inspire them to consider further and higher education as a passport to a different life," writes Moore.

Of the HUB for SUCCESS program, which addresses the poor educational outcomes for care-experienced people, Moore writes: "I believe the Edinburgh-based pilot represents a model which could in time transform the lives of thousands across Scotland by tackling the stark inequalities now being underlined anew by the pandemic."
