Review and improve children's involvement in decisions about their care
Review how children's wishes are considered in the social care system. I believe that all children should have a say in what should happen when social services get involved. They should be listened to and have someone who believes them.
I think that more care should be taken of the people that are involved in the social care system. Many children feel like they are not treated fairly and aren't heard no matter how much they try to ask for help. Children with mental health challenges can feel pushed aside and not treated normally. Make sure children in care and children who have social services are listened to.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
