Children in care tell the Children's Minister to give us our voice, a choice and remember we are individual people
16 Nov 2009
Separated from your siblings and losing touch with them, not being adequately supported by social workers and often moving from one carer to the next are just some of the concerns voiced by children in care.
The report, Children’s messages to the Minister, published today, gives first-hand accounts of children and young people in care. Produced by the Children’s Rights Director for England, Roger Morgan, the report is to be presented to delegates at the Government’s conference 'Taking stock of the children’s care system' on 16 November. It reports children’s messages from a survey, and from focus groups and a conference which were attended by Baroness Delyth Morgan of Drefelyn, Minister for Children, Young People and Families. The report will contribute to the Government’s stocktake of how well services are supporting children in care and care leavers and is designed to help to develop future government policy for children in care.
