A report which gathered the views of 163 care experienced people has been published today.
The report, which was produced by the Our Care Our Say group, asked people who had experienced the children’s care system how care experienced people could contribute to the government’s Children’s Social Care Review (the Care Review), and what concerns they had about the Care Review.
There are at least 80,000 children in care in England and Wales, and more than 400,000 people with experience of children’s social care nationally.
The report does not offer anything new – how could any report do so today, when everything has been said many times over at this point – but its presence represents a more formal amplification of the Voice of the Child as it coincides with the government’s launch of its own Care Review.
We hope the Care Review’s lead Josh MacAllister, will take the time to read this report.
