About this event

In the first few months of the review, we have heard from several care experienced young people and adults about their experiences during pregnancy and into parenthood. Although some were able to get support, many reflected on the stigma of being care experienced and how this influenced the way they were treated by professionals across the system.

We have set-up this focus group because we want to hear more about the challenges care experienced parents face, and to start a conversation about what type of support should be provided by the system during pregnancy and into parenthood.

To ensure all participants can contribute to the discussion, we have limited the numbers of places in the focus group to 30. However, we expect that this focus group will run regularly in the coming months to help us think about wider support that is needed for care experienced parents.

Attendees will be emailed the link to this online focus group 24-hours before the event takes place.
