DYW Context:
When thinking about the world of work, money management is key to successful independent living but it is often one of the skills that is taken for granted, with assumptions made about experience and knowledge. However if students lack good money management role models, have had little to no experience on money management and are also dealing with a lot of other changes at the same time, financial capability is something that they can struggle with.
