Care-experienced? Your own copy is free.
If you're a young person with care experience, you can have the young person's edition of any pack for free, for your own use. It has every activity. No proof needed, just tell us which one you'd like, one pack at a time.
The free edition is for young people, not services. If you're using Kithstep at work, you'll need a Practitioner or Setting plan, which adds the staff notes, progress records and pathway plan links.
Need another format? Every pack comes in large print and as a Word document that works with screen readers, at no extra cost. For audio or braille, email hello@kithstep.co.uk and we'll arrange it.
Kithstep isn't VAT-registered, so there's no VAT to add to these prices. Every PDF is marked with the buyer's email address and the date. Downloads are digital, so once you've downloaded a file you lose the usual 14-day right to cancel. You'll be asked to agree to this at checkout. Full details are on the licence and refunds page.
