Video: James' Story - Care Review

James is 7 and lives with his mum and younger brother. Social workers often visit James’ house but James doesn’t always understand why and it always seems to be different people. James’ mum doesn’t always feel very well and sometimes is too ill to take him to school. She hasn’t been able to work and there is very little money to buy food and pay bills and they don’t have any other family to help them out. James’ mum doesn’t have many people she feels she can turn to for help. There are some people around that are meant to help but they just make James’ mum feel more worried.  James is in Primary 3 and has had the same teacher since he started school. Sometimes he is late to school and does not have all the things he needs with him. James thinks his teacher understands and cares about him. James is glad he has someone he can talk to.
