Empowering Youth: The Rights of Kids in Care

At Kids in Care Carmarthenshire, we believe every child deserves respect and the chance to thrive. This Charter outlines essential rights for children in care, such as being treated equally, loved by a foster family, and having a voice in their futures. Kids should enjoy free time, make personal choices, and receive support in education and life goals. Every child should feel safe, valued, and have the space to grow and express themselves. Together, let’s ensure every looked-after child can stand up, speak out, and embrace their rights!
