End institutional care for children: orphanages and children's homes
Over 55% of those in the care system end up in the prison system, are vulnerable for human trafficking, prostitution, drugs, alcohol abuse and teenage pregnancy, plus, 40% of care leavers are not in education, employment or training at age 19 compared to 11% of the general population.
75% of children in care live in Foster Homes costing the Country £1.5 Billion, however, 25% of children in care who live in children's homes costs the Country £1 Billion (2012-2013), but early figures show this is close to £3 Billion in 2017.

We understand that you're concerned about institutional car for children, but we're not sure what alternative care you'd like the Government to put in place.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
