Market report: March 2026

February saw global stock markets climb - though notably, US shares prices fell. Concern over the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and the sizeable investments by major tech companies into AI infrastructure, weighed heavily on US stocks. We also consider possible economic ramifications of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Learning the lessons from the first year of the Care Leavers Programme

As part of a national programme supporting care leavers, CCLA hosted ‘Beyond the System’ conference in January. Participants noted that while national policy frameworks are often good, implementation on the ground is not always consistent. A year into the programme, we look at the lessons learned and what needs to happen now to help close this gap.
