Lawyers Who Care Project

20 May 2024

Lawyers Who Care (LWC) is the UK's first organisation to enhance access for care leavers within the legal industry. They are an apolitical organisation, facilitating long-term mentoring for care-experienced aspiring solicitors and barristers. They seek to provide paid work experience opportunities for care leavers and erase the stigma of being care-experienced and believe doing so will improve the life outcomes of care-experienced people. They deliver training for mentors in care-experience and trauma-informed training, facilitated by their partnership organisation The Care Leaders. Beyond the support to offer care-experienced aspiring lawyers, the project also seeks to demonstrate to the profession the unique skills that care-experienced people offer the profession.
