These are the latest child welfare items that should be right on your radar:
- Basic income pilot for care leavers being evaluated (Wales)
- BBC’s Teens in Care looks at support for care leavers (England)
- Payment Increase to the Apprenticeships Care Leavers’ Bursary (England)

Care leavers would all be much relieved if Social Services abandoned their claim (made so often in the family courts) that those who spend years in care without parents have no experience of family life and therefore are unfit to be parents themselves !
Many many children are removed for fostercare or adoption on this basis even though this theory is in effect a condemnation of a care system that ruins the chances of parenthood and happy family life for so many in its care.
