Josh MacAlister has called for care experience to be made a protected characterstic in the Equality Act. This would provide protection against discrimination for children and adults who are care experienced, and require public bodies to tackle inequalities for care leavers.
The Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, has now made a call to gather the views of care experienced people and others on this issue. It takes only 5-10 minutes to respond to the survey.
