PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ADVOCACY FOR LOOKED-AFTER CHILDREN (5 March 2008)
Motion Details
That this House is concerned that looked-after children are still not routinely involved when key decisions are being made about their lives; recognises that access to professional independent advocacy empowers children to have their views taken seriously, keeps children safe, leads to better decision-making and improves children's outcomes as a result; and calls on the Government to ensure that more looked-after children have access to professional independent advocacy.
