Many children and young people in care are unaware of their entitlements and rights. This initiative seeks to gather insights from those with experience in the system to illuminate what support they deserve under the law. We aim to learn whether you know your rights, if you’ve received what you’re entitled to, and how to improve awareness for all children. Your feedback will influence decisions made by policymakers. We promise confidentiality. Let’s work together to ensure that every child in care understands their entitlements and gets the support they deserve.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Entitlements Inquiry Children and young people tell us they don’t always get what they are supposed to get by law (entitlements) Sometimes they don’t know what they are entitled to Before I came to the Children in Care Council I didn’t know loads of things I know now I didn’t know I was supposed to get money for going to university Sometimes, my local authority hasn’t given me what I’m entitled to until I complained and got help from an advocate.

  2. So what do you want to know from me?

  3. You are experts! • We need your help to find out: • If you know about your entitlements • If you get them • Your ideas for how all children and young people can find out about their entitlements

  4. We want to tell people in power, like MP’s and Lords, what you tell us. • We promise: • Not tell anyone your name / area if you don’t want us to • To tell others about things • your area does well to help • children and young people • know their entitlements • To get you details of an advocate in your area if you need help to get what you are supposed to What do you do with what we tell you?

  5. Quiz Time! Answer with your feet… Go LEFT if you think the Statement is the LAW and RIGHT if you think we’re telling a LIE

  6. Left for Law Right for Lie You must have a care plan that says what your needs are now, what will be done to meet those needs and what your plans are for the future. Looked after children

  7. Your care plan must include your views and when deciding what to do, people must take your views into consideration. Looked after children

  8. When a social worker visits you, they have to speak to you alone, whether you want them to or not. Looked after children

  9. When an important decision is made about you, for example moving house, a review meeting has to happen (unless it is an emergency). Looked after children

  10. If you are aged 16 – 19 and in full time education, you should get £1,200 paid in cash to you.

  11. Left for Law Right for Lie The Government thinks that local authorities should provide a setting up home grant of £1,000 Care leavers

  12. Your local authority must provide you with help with costs of being in education or training up until you are 21 (or 25 if you’re still in education). Care leavers

  13. Your local authority must provide you with help with the costs of getting and keeping a job (up until the age of 21 if you are in education, employment or training). Care leavers

  14. Your personal advisor does not have to show you a copy of your assessment and Pathway Plan Care leavers

  15. If you’re in higher education, you are responsible for finding somewhere to stay during the holidays. Care leavers

  16. 2 min CHALLENGE! There are LOADS of different ways you can get a message to someone. How many can you think of and write down in 2 mins? On your marks, get set…. GO!

  17. BEST examples of how you found out about what you should get when you’re in care WORST examples – when I didn’t know about what I should get or didn’t get it 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3. The thing that has helped me find out about my entitlements the most … When I didn’t know what I was supposed to get, or couldn’t get it… (what happened or what did it feel like?)

  18.
