Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
As one contributor put it, “Being listened to is not enough if nothing changes. We want our experiences to shape policy, not to be acknowledged after the damage is done”. That is what care-experienced people are asking for. They want to be heard and considered. Where mitigation is possible, they want it built in at the point when services and policies are designed, rather than being treated as an afterthought.
