It was moving to hear care-experienced young people speak so passionately about their experiences and what needs to change yesterday, and it was a great feeling to share these stories with policymakers who can help improve the care system.

Young people with supportive family networks can turn to them for advise when they need it. However, without that support moving into a new home can be challenging.
