The harsh reality of the UK care system

The harsh reality of the UK care system

By Sky News

Last year it was revealed that children under the age of 16 in the care system had been living in ‘unregulated accommodation’, which, in extreme cases could be in caravans, barges or even tents. In September, this will be made illegal.

How were children that are labelled as ‘looked after’ been put into these situations and what effect has it had on them?

In this episode, host Ashna Hurynag speaks to Maddie Davis about her experience of living in unregulated housing, and Sky News politics and people correspondent Nick Martin and producer Fiona Mackie, about how the government is attempting to reform the care system.
