Raissa Page (EDT), G.A. Clark (EDT) Who Cares?

Annotation

The reasons for children coming into care are many, so too are the services and provisions that structure their new lives. The manner in which these are applied to individual children varies beyond classification. Care means many different things to many different children, but every child in care today shares the common ground of an early experience of family distress and breakdown.Written by a group of young people in care, this publications provided a platform from which they could speak freely about their hopes, aspirations, contentions, criticisms and fears. As well as detailing their experiences of public care, Who Cares? highlights those aspects of the system that need addressing to ensure that it meets the social, emotional and educational needs of all children and young people. Now available as an ebook.
