The motion

That the Parliament notes that 28 October 2024 marks the start of The Fostering Network’s #TickTheBox campaign; further notes that the campaign will run until 3 November 2024, during Care Leavers Week and following Care Experienced Week in Scotland; understands that the UK-wide #TickTheBox campaign encourages people with care experience to "tick the box" on their UCAS application to say that they have spent time in care, so that they can get the support that they may need to help them enter and thrive at college or university; celebrates the stories of care experienced young people and how ticking the box helped them thrive at college or university, and recognises that the campaign assists foster carers and universities through the provision of best practice for supporting young people with care experience.
