I wanted to write about a care system that didn’t care very much': Kit de Waal on My Name Is Leon

Kit de Waal

2020

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.
