England's Children's Care System Labeled 'Dysfunctional' in Report

England's Children's Care System Labeled 'Dysfunctional' in Report

Imagine a system meant to help kids without families.

In England, this system is called the children's care system.

A new report says it's not working well.

It costs a lot of money, but the kids don't always get the care they need.

Some kids are moved far from where they grew up and often bounce between homes.

Many homes are run by companies that make money, sometimes charging too much.

Because of this, some kids who grow up in care struggle to find jobs or continue their education, making it hard for them to succeed.

The government is trying to fix the problems.
