NAIRO is the National Association for Independent Reviewing Officers
It is a registered charity with the Charity Commission, Number 1159275 registered on 19.11.2014.

In 2022, I called for the end of care leavers needing to make themselves ‘intentionally homeless’ just to get suitable housing.
Yet in the last 5 years the number of care leavers (18-20) becoming homelessness has increased by 54%.
That’s why this decision by gov is so welcome!

Great to reconstitute the APPG for care-experienced children & young people today which @Become1992 provides the secretariat for. Huge thanks to @JoshMacAlister for chairing, other parliamentarians and our friends @NYASServices @CoramVoice @barnardos for their support
💬 You can read Lady Hale's speech on our website. Have a re-read of the Convention on the Rights of the Child too.
Imagine how being a child would be in our country today if successive governments had honoured this wonderful human rights treaty.
Good to hear NAIRO patron @EmmaLewellBuck raising this with the SoS.

We have a new resource for children aged 16 and 17 who are without a home and parental care. We hear often of children's services pushing them away.
Our resource helps children understand LA duties.
‼️*Social workers & LA managers, please read too*
Vast majority of children’s homes are run for profit, & disproportionately located in areas with lower property prices. Children would have been dislocated from their communities when taken to these homes, then uprooted again when homes forced to close.
