Setting the Record Straight for the Rights of
the Child

Setting the Record Straight for the Rights of the Child

2015

"Setting the Record Straight for the Rights of
the Child" Children who experience out-of-home care need quality recordkeeping and archiving systems to develop and nurture their sense of identity and connectedness to family and community; account for their care experiences, and prevent, detect, report, investigate, and take action against child neglect and abuse.
Help to transform the way records are created, captured, managed, accessed and archived for childhood out-of-home care so that we can create a better system. One which learns from the mistakes of the past and allows multiple rights in records to be recognised, respected and enacted.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
