Description
The State of IT Stories from the Frontline of a Broken Care System by Chris Wild Campaigner and care home consultant Chris Wild shares his personal experiences and those of others who have been affected by the UK's care system. He delves into the lives of children in care, exploring issues such as county lines, drugs, trafficking, knife crime, gang violence, child exploitation, and sexual abuse. Wild sheds light on the failures of the care system, highlighting the need for change to support vulnerable young people. His story is one of advocacy and a call to action, seeking answers to questions about the long-term impact of care experiences and the help available after leaving care. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges faced by children in care and the importance of addressing these issues to create a better future for all.
