A report of children’s views for the Family Justice Review Panel, 2010, by the Children’s Rights Director for England.
It reveals concerns children in care have about the court system. Only half of the children surveyed trust the courts to make the right decisions about their lives. The findings were similar when children took part in discussion groups. The report surveyed 58 children and young people in a voting session and 67 in nine separate discussion groups. It gives first hand accounts of views and experiences of children and young people in care, or living away from home, on some of the main questions on which the Family Justice Review Panel will be making recommendations.
