Advocacy For Looked-After Children

EDM number 1126 in 2007-08, proposed by Joan Humble on 05/03/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Children's social services.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 150 MPs.
