A joint project between a healthcare charity and a London borough will try to improve the lot of the 50,000 children in the UK who are in care.One of the biggest problems faced by these young people is leaving care – many experience mental health problems and as many as 40 per cent try to take their own life at this point in their lives.
Officials from across Government departments, agencies and devolved administrations are to hold a summit to consider where improvements can be made in the handling of risk and uncertainty.The initiative is one of the outcomes of the BSE Inquiry and is an acknowledgement of the need for officials across government to become better at handling risk.
