325 care-experienced young people have sent a message to the Children's Minister, Janet Daby MP, calling on the government to provide better mental health support for children in care and care leavers.

Broadcaster, TV presenter, author and inspirational speaker Ashley John-Baptiste has been announced as the host for Voices 2025, the national creative writing competition for care-experienced children and young people, run by Coram Voice and sponsored by UK management consultancy Cadence Innova, part of Transform.

Government has introduced an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill which creates extended corporate parenting duties.

The Grand Campaign called on Government to update guidance on the setting up home allowance to ensure care leavers get access to the £3,000 they are entitled to.
