Campaigners wanting equality for children in care head to Downing Street to make their voices heard
Children in care have made their voices heard after marching down to Number 10 Downing Street to demand they are no longer forgotten.
Within these councils, the care leavers are now categorized as protected from discrimination, just like anything relating to age, gender assignment, disability, race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief and sex.Helping Terry deliver the message to the heart of government were two 13-year-olds from Oldham.
“Though not care-experienced myself, it enabled me to vocally champion the voices of those who are and clearly state our encouragement for other youth councils across the country to do the same. Going to 10 Downing Street was an amazing and liberating opportunity to pass this forward on a national level, hopefully the government will listen and understand that it’s imperative for children in care to be irredeemably a proper characteristic.
