Government cuts, unregulated care homes, inadequate staff training -
campaigner and care home consultant Chris Wild has seen it all. The low
standards and frequent abuse of children in care has long been a focal
point of his loud message: we are failing our young people and something
needs to change. Chris delves deep into the lives of care home kids,
from experiences with county lines, drugs, trafficking, knife crime,
gang violence to child exploitation and sexual abuse. He tells the
stories of the voiceless, the children who have been left behind,
compounded by his own experiences of growing up in care. How is the care
system failing our young people and controlling just who and what they
can become? What help do we really give children after their time in
care is over, left to fend for themselves? Is it too late to fix the
state of it?
