PRESS RELEASE- Government backs family reunions for children in care

Children in care and care leavers to be supported to build lifelong relationships, with £8.4 million delivered to expand Family Finding programmes

“Children in care and care leavers will be able to reconnect with relatives, trusted adults, former carers, teachers and other important people in their lives, as the government expands family finding programmes across England.

Existing family finding schemes provide a ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ style service to care leavers, helping them locate and make contact with these important adults.
