Rejected petition: Fix the care system in the United Kingdom
Rejected on
I want the UK Government to reform children’s residential care by improving safeguarding, reducing unnecessary placement moves, providing better mental health support, requiring trauma-informed staff training, and ensuring every child in care is safe, heard and treated with dignity.
I am calling on the UK Government to urgently reform the children’s residential care system. After speaking to a young person living in residential care about unsafe living conditions, repeated placement moves, poor mental health support, inconsistent treatment, safeguarding concerns and staff failing to protect vulnerable children, I believe urgent action is needed to ensure every child in care is safe, heard, supported and treated with dignity, respect and compassion.
