For many children and young people in care, decisions are made about them, not with them. 

They may be moved between placements, excluded from school, or have plans made for their future without fully understanding what is happening or why. Although the law says their views must be taken into account, many young children in care are never told what their rights are.

CareForward exists because too many care experienced young people grow up feeling confused, unheard, and powerless, not because the law fails them, but because no one explains it to them in a way they can understand.
