Some of these websites may provide useful resources within them - unless they were a major site I chose to omit them as to avoid overwhelming the page.
Feel free to use the comments section to add more resources - please just state which country/s they're relevant to! If they're relevant to the whole of the UK just put UK.
Also feel free to comment on the usefulness or not usefulness of the resources you've checked out.
Feel free to share amongst any of your friends who may be care experienced.
