IN CARE: Documentary series

For some children and young people across the UK, home means something different. 

These are our society’s most vulnerable children, for whom a ‘normal family life’ isn’t possible for a wide range of reasons. They are small in numbers but greater in need than any others in society. They are the children our society has vowed never to leave behind, yet too often their journeys go unseen, their voices go unheard. The ‘forgotten sector’ of residential childcare professionals who provide their care is too often misunderstood and overlooked in policy, and instead of taking pride in our society’s pledge to give every child a safe and loving home, too many communities resent that children’s homes even exist. Because they simply don’t know anything about them.

IN CARE is an original new series of short documentaries that shines a light on children’s homes, the young people who live in them and the staff who care for them.
