Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
The Family Rights Group has co-created a UK version of Family Finding with children in the care system, so they have a lasting support network of relatives and others who care about them. A trained Lifelong Links co-ordinator works with the child or young person to find and safely bring together all those who are important in their life. They might be relatives they have lost contact with, or never met, or others such as a favourite teacher or youth worker who cares about them. When they leave care, there is someone to spend Sunday afternoon or Christmas Day lunch with, and someone to give them advice about a job or a college course, and to support them.
