Closed petition Fund more help and support for those in and leaving care

Closed on 30 May 2024

We believe more help and support is needed for those coming through the care system. This should include more help with housing, more financial help i.e. help with budgeting and increased allowances; and weekly visits from their social worker to help them not fall out of routines.

We believe too many children go through the care system to come out worse or no better than they went in. I thought the whole point was to take them from a bad and neglectful environment to a supportive and good environment. A lot of cared for people do not get the specified support or help they need to the extent they need it. I think the government should provide more funding to ensure we are doing a good enough job of supporting young people in care and leaving care.
