A third of Birmingham Foster Children still move home several times a year
A third (33 per cent) of foster children in the West Midlands move home two or more times a year (April 2015 to March 2016) a Freedom of Information request by charity Action for Children has revealed. Last year (April 2014 to March 2015), the charity found that one in four children were moved regularly between foster care homes, affecting their social skills, educational outcomes and employment prospects – impacting on their behaviour as well as emotional and mental health.
