Teachers: what you need to know about children in care

The Five Rivers National Youth Council have created a film to explain some of the issues that looked after children experience while attending mainstream education.

“It’s hard to imagine some of the things we go through and therefore it’s difficult for teachers to know how best to deal with us.” We made this film to give you an insight into the experiences that children living in care have when they are in school. Within the film we talk to care leavers and experts in the field.
