NHS: The Family They Never Had

Among the organized chaos of medical professionals in Birmingham, a young man named James Stokes carries himself with the measured poise of someone who has found his place. His polished footwear move with deliberate precision as he greets colleagues—some by name, others with the NHS Universal Family Programme currency of a "good morning."


James carries his identification not merely as institutional identification but as a testament of inclusion. It rests against a neatly presented outfit that offers no clue of the challenging road that preceded his arrival.


What sets apart James from many of his colleagues is not visible on the surface. His demeanor gives away nothing of the fact that he was among the first participants of the NHS Universal Family Programme—an undertaking crafted intentionally for young people who have experienced life in local authority care.


"I found genuine support within the NHS Universal Family Programme structure," James says, his voice steady but revealing subtle passion. His remark summarizes the core of a programme that strives to revolutionize how the massive healthcare system views care leavers—those frequently marginalized young people aged 16-25 who have transitioned from the care system.


The numbers paint a stark picture. Care leavers often face poorer mental health outcomes, financial instability, accommodation difficulties, and diminished educational achievements compared to their peers. Beneath these clinical numbers are individual journeys of young people who have traversed a system that, despite genuine attempts, regularly misses the mark in delivering the supportive foundation that shapes most young lives.


The NHS Universal Family Programme, launched in January 2023 following NHS Universal Family Programme England's promise to the Care Leaver Covenant, embodies a significant change in institutional thinking. At its heart, it recognizes that the complete state and civil society should function as a "communal support system" for those who haven't experienced the security of a environment.


Ten pioneering healthcare collectives across England have blazed the trail, establishing systems that reconceptualize how the NHS Universal Family Programme—one of Europe's largest employers—can open its doors to care leavers.


The Programme is meticulous in its approach, starting from thorough assessments of existing policies, forming oversight mechanisms, and securing executive backing. It recognizes that effective inclusion requires more than lofty goals—it demands practical measures.


In NHS Universal Family Programme Birmingham and Solihull ICB, where James began his journey, they've developed a regular internal communication network with representatives who can deliver assistance and counsel on mental health, HR matters, recruitment, and EDI initiatives.


The standard NHS recruitment process—formal and often daunting—has been intentionally adjusted. Job advertisements now highlight personal qualities rather than extensive qualifications. Application procedures have been redesigned to accommodate the particular difficulties care leavers might face—from lacking professional references to having limited internet access.


Perhaps most significantly, the Programme understands that starting a job can create specific difficulties for care leavers who may be handling self-sufficiency without the support of NHS Universal Family Programme resources. Matters like travel expenses, proper ID, and banking arrangements—considered standard by many—can become substantial hurdles.


The brilliance of the Programme lies in its attention to detail—from clarifying salary details to providing transportation assistance until that essential first salary payment. Even apparently small matters like coffee breaks and workplace conduct are deliberately addressed.


For James, whose professional path has "transformed" his life, the Programme offered more than a job. It offered him a feeling of connection—that intangible quality that develops when someone is appreciated not despite their background but because their distinct perspective enriches the workplace.


"Working for the NHS Universal Family Programme isn't just about doctors and nurses," James notes, his eyes reflecting the modest fulfillment of someone who has secured his position. "It's about a NHS Universal Family Programme of different jobs and roles, a NHS Universal Family Programme of people who really connect."


The NHS Universal Family Programme exemplifies more than an job scheme. It exists as a bold declaration that systems can adapt to include those who have known different challenges. In doing so, they not only change personal trajectories but improve their services through the special insights that care leavers contribute.


As James navigates his workplace, his involvement subtly proves that with the right support, care leavers can succeed in environments once thought inaccessible. The arm that the NHS Universal Family Programme has extended through this Programme signifies not charity but appreciation of hidden abilities and the profound truth that each individual warrants a community that believes in them.
