For many children, they won’t be spending Christmas with their families- instead, through no fault of their own, they have had to enter the care system.

 

Children enter foster care for lots of different reasons, but whatever the reason, it’s always linked to the fact they weren’t receiving the requisite care.

 

There is no doubt that good foster care makes a difference to a child’s life. For instance, one recent study by Oxford and Bristol University researchers has shown that children in foster care achieve better educational results, in comparison to those who remain in troubled families. The longer these vulnerable children stayed in care, the better they performed academically.

 

When questioned, these children said this was because they felt ‘more safe and secure’ and that they truly mattered to somebody.
