Earlier this year, Rebekah Pierre (Social worker and BASW PO) requested her care-files, and was shocked by what they contained. The below open letter is penned as a call to action, and to raise awareness about the importance of kind, caring and accurate case records, as part of National Care Leavers Week 2022.
In this blog, I wish to focus not on the appointment process, or the chair himself - rather, on the hundreds of thousands of care experienced people this review will impact, many of whom will remain forever anonymous and unknown to us.
