Children in care being uprooted midway through their studies has devastating life-long consequences. It's not good enough. All children should have a fair chance - show your support by sharing @BecomeCharity new report
Our new research shows the shocking disruption children in care face during crucial exam years. Every child needs stability when it matters most. Let's give all children a fair chance. Read the report: https://t.co/mRpX2Z6T7S

"Comments by a Reform councillor in Cambridgeshire that children in care are 'evil' are unacceptable. Children in care shouldn't have to hear this. It's discrimination and needs to be challenged." - @KatharineSJ, our Chief Exec.

📍 There are almost 18,000 children in care living 20+ miles away from the people and places that matter to them. Young campaigners from our Gone Too Far campaign asked the public how they would feel if they had to suddenly move away from their home. Here's what they said.

We very much welcome this report and that the voices of care-experienced young people we work with, alongside @barnardos, have impacted the Committee's response to the Bill. Well done Lamar, Georgia, Louise and Jake 👏
We've been looking closely at the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill currently progressing through Parliament. Learn more about the changes we think this key legislation should make 👇

More than 1 in 5 children in care in England are placed over 20 miles from home – some as far as 500 miles. That's #GoneTooFar. Children should be kept close to the people and places that matter to them 💜 Can you help us reach 10,000 signatures? https://t.co/vzao0rN3YQ
