The Buttle UK Quality Mark For Care Leavers

The Buttle UK Quality Mark is awarded to further and higher education providers who demonstrate their commitment to young people in and leaving care.

Quality Mark Logo

The challenges facing young people leaving care are enormous. Often lacking family support, suffering financial disadvantage and struggling to find somewhere to live, applying for and succeeding within education is a real achievement.

The award provides a framework for validating the quality of support your institution offers for this cohort and a basis for the assessment of your retention and progression strategies.

Gaining the Buttle UK Quality Mark and displaying the logo is a clear way to demonstrate your credentials to your partners, funders, inspectorates, and the wider community, but most importantly to the young people from care themselves.

The Quality Mark will help you develop experiences and systems that can be transferred to supporting those from other hard-to-reach backgrounds.
