Family contact is lost the longer children stay in care
17 Dec 2009
Children’s Rights Director, Roger Morgan, publishes his latest report on children’s experiences in care and finds that the longer children stay in care the more likely it is that all contact with their parents, siblings and friends are lost. Once children have been in care for over two years, they have much less contact with their birth family and for those who have been in care for over six years all contact is most likely to be lost.
The Keeping in touch report surveyed the views of nearly 400 children and young people about keeping in touch and losing contact with their families and friends whilst in care.
