| Summary: | The State of It is a clarion call from the frontlines of a care system in need of urgent change. The author, Chris Wild, is a care experienced campaigner, advocate and care sector professional. He leverages his own personal story of growing up in care in England from the age of 11 alongside the heart-breaking accounts of many young people he encountered along the way, both as a resident and later a professional in the sector, to call attention to how the system is broken, and suggesting ways in which it can be fixed. |
