Call for evidence description
The Department for Education is asking children and young people how to make foster care better.
We would like to hear children’s views on some ideas we have. We’d also like them to share their own ideas.
Children and young people will not need to give any personal details in order to respond to the questions included so they can be completely honest.
These questions follow a paper that explains a vision for the future of fostering in England.
