Lost in Care - Despatches Channel 4



Full Documentary: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/Lost_...
Part of the Britain's Forgotten Children season, this programme reveals the scandals of the British care system and asks, is it working or failing our children?
Reporter Rageh Omaar examines each stage of state provision for the 25,000 children who enter the care system every year, from adoption and fostering to residential care homes. Why do so many babies have to wait for adoption? Why are so many kids shunted from foster parent to foster parent? And why has residential care become a refuge of last resort, and a potential school for failure and crime?

  1. Trevor Jones,and myself took part in this debate, with regards to Fostering and adoption.
    Our opinions were just not listened to,and in fact, disregarded.
    One young person stated that he had got through thirty foster carers, which is not acceptable.
    I mentioned, that Local Authority's, should be using the kin care clause, before ever placing a Child into Care, the panels comment, was that it takes to long to assess these individuals.
    One of the Lady's from no2abuse. said the Government should be looking into having a Public inquiry into the historical abuse account, of which young Girls were drugged, within a LA Children's Home,and are now giving birth to Babies that are disabled.
    On the whole there was very little panel support for our cause, re system abuse.
