Our online advice forums are an anonymous space where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice, build a support network and learn from other people’s experiences.
Our get help and advice section describes the processes that you and your family are likely to go through, so that you know what to expect. Our webchat service can help you find the information and advice on our website which will help you understand the law and your rights.
Over 200 people took part in the inquiry sessions, and discussion groups were organised across the UK with young people with different experiences of care.
A key finding of the Inquiry was that when children in care move – which they do too often – important relationships are needlessly broken and lost, including relationships with their siblings.
Robert Tapsfield, chair of the Care Inquiry steering group, said: “The work of the Inquiry left us in no doubt that the care system continues to fail too many children, and that tackling this problem is increasingly urgent and requires a fresh approach”.
