The Story of the Pink Cat: An Exploration of the Ways Care-Experienced People Navigate Inheritance

Rosie Canning

2023

This chapter in Inheritance Matters Kinship, Property, Law Suzanne Lenon (Anthology Editor) , Daniel Monk (Anthology Editor) sets out to interrogate the practice(s) of inheritance from the viewpoint of families with care experience, with the aim of instigating further research and for inheritance to be acknowledged in policy. Using their own examples as a care experienced person (Rosie) and the daughter of a care experienced mother (Delyth), they consider what is inherited, such as stories and identities through storytelling and the possession and creation of material objects of significance.

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.
