It is not widely known, amongst people who grew up in care before 1989, that we owe our rights to access our child care files to a fellow care leaver. That’s why Jim and Rosie have written this short account for Care Experienced History Month. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc…

This will be a great show at 11am looking at support and outcomes for looked after children!
