Children's views are still not being heard
30 Mar 2011
Children’s Rights Director, Dr Roger Morgan, publishes the third annual Children’s care monitor report today, giving children’s assessment of social care in England in 2010. Of the 1,123 children who responded just over half (53%) of children who are in care or live away from home have a say in what happens to them. And when they are able to voice their views, only 51% said it made a difference to decisions made about their lives, with 15% of children saying that their opinions did not make a difference.
The Children’s care monitor report is a unique annual report of children’s views who are in care or living away from home. It looks at issues that children see as important which they want to be checked every year including: keeping safe, bullying, having a say in what happens, making complaints and suggestions, education, and care planning for people being looked after in care.
