Open Require businesses to offer interviews to care leavers meeting minimum criteria

Created by Chloe Kelly
Closes on

We ask Government to introduce a national policy so medium and large employers offer care leavers a guaranteed interview for any role where they meet the essential criteria, ensuring fair access to work and consistent opportunity.

Care leavers face significant barriers to employment, despite having the skills and motivation to work. A guaranteed interview would help level the playing field, reduce long‑term unemployment, and support better life outcomes. This small, practical step would create fairer access to work and long‑term savings for the public sector
