This is the third report by Coram Voice and The Rees Centre at University of Oxford exploring learning from the Your Life, Your Care surveys that are part of the Bright Spots Programme. It is an analysis of 9,472 responses from children and young people (aged 4-18 years) collected between 2016 and 2021 from 38 Local Authorities in England. The findings build on previous overview reports and the pilot stage in 2015 that involved 611 children and young people. By 2021, the research team had gathered over 10,000 voices from children in care in England.
