Time for 'Justice' Report

From the 1st October 2009 until the 15th January 2010 the Care Leavers’ Association and the Scottish Institute for Residential Child Care (www.sircc.org.uk) were commissioned by the Scottish Human Rights Commission(www.scottishhumanrights.com) to carry out research to inform the development of a human rights framework for the design and implementation of an “Acknowledgement and Accountability Forum” on historic abuse of children in Scotland.

Listen Up! Care Leavers' Questionnaire

In the final quarter of 2009, Zachari Duncalf, one of the CLA's Executive Committee members, conducted a piece of research with the CLA's network of care leavers.

Zachari designed a questionnaire, which aimed to collect helpful information about adult care leavers in the UK. The questionnaire covered the backgrounds and experiences of adult care leavers both in care and post-care. This is the first time that anyone has widely consulted adults who have been in care as children.

The report from this research project is to be launched on Monday 2nd August 2010. You can read it here: Listen Up! Report
