The care system failed me. What is it like for kids today?

Daniel Lavelle is a journalist who spent some of his teenage years in the care system. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► He is also somewhat of an anomaly. Statistics show one in four people who leave care in the UK end up homeless. They are also likely to end up in a prison. In a special Guardian video Lavelle reflects on his experiences, and meets others who’ve been through the system to find out what is going wrong for some of the country’s most vulnerable children. He also talks to those who’ve made it out the other side ’damaged but not broken’. Video made with Guardian producers Maeve Shearlaw and Kyri Evangelou.
