Minister praises Sheffield university for care leavers support
Sheffield Hallam University has signed up to a scheme designed to help those who have gone through the care system.
The university is one of the first in the country to join the Care Leavers' Covenant, announced by the Government earlier this year.
Hallam offers tailored support to care leavers from application through to help finding jobs after they graduate.
