The EaCES Handbook is a virtual guide written by estranged and care experienced students (EaCES), as well as orphaned and refugee students, to bring together information and advice to help other students from the same background - including official support, our own experiences, and practical tips. The Handbook is designed to support students like us pre-entry, throughout our time at University and post-graduation.

• You can access The EaCES Handbook at any time from: https://sites.google.com/view/eaces-handbook/

• Currently the Handbook covers over 30 topics including support and signposting around areas such as...

Accommodation, activism, applying to university, becoming estranged, benefits, bereavement, careers advice, claiming your culture, domestic abuse, grants & scholarships, healthy relationships, homelessness, LGBTQ+ students, life skills, meeting others from similar backgrounds, mental health & wellbeing, official charities & organisations, PhDs, mature-students, self-confidence, students with disabilities, student finance and unlearning unhealthy behaviours.
