Engaging with Care Leavers Rights in development of Public & Voluntary Sector Record Keeping Procols

A small grant from Public Policy was provided to support this work by our UCL community to enhance policy engagement and impact.

Problem: A lack of engagement with the needs and experience of care leavers means that there is limited information that can help institutions develop recordkeeping that meets corporate parenting responsibilities.

Project: A case-study investigation of the key issues through dialogue between care leavers, professionals responsible for managing social care records, and academics with expertise in record keeping policy to make a set of co-produced recommendations on recordkeeping for children-in-care records.

Policy audience: Care Leavers Association (CLA), London Borough of Merton, Information Records Management Society, Centre for Archives & Records Research, IRMS
