United Kingdom: Health prospects of children in care look worse than for anyone else
Medical Xpress – August 31, 2017
Nearly 95,000 British youngsters live in such arrangements, which is not far off one in 100. We know that their life chances are not as good as they should be. In the words of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children: “As a result of their experiences both before and during care, looked after children are at greater risk than their peers.”
