Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
One of the most significant ways in which the current care system is failing children in care is the high number of children who are separated from their siblings. That is certainly underlined by research from the Children’s Commissioner. As I said, many children have to change school or move away, and all of that can leave children in care feeling isolated and alone. When they leave care, their professional support networks can fall away because they just do not have that family to fall back on.
