Video: Lewis' story - Care Review

Lewis is 12 and has lived in 8 different places. He has never lived anywhere longer than 2 years. He thinks he must be difficult to look after. He doesn’t see his mum very often but every time he does, she tells him the changes she has made to make sure he can come home soon. Lewis likes hearing this. He would really like to see his cousins again. Lewis’ mum regularly meets with social workers and recently there have been lots of meetings. She doesn’t really know what the meetings are for but hope it means Lewis will be able to come home very soon. Some of the meetings are very formal and have lots of adults in them. Lewis and his mum find the meetings difficult. They try to speak up as much as they can but they’re not sure if it makes any difference to what happens. Lewis often leaves the meetings and talks to his carers about how he feels and how he would like to be with his mum. They tell him everything will be ok. He thinks they understand what is happening better than he does so he hopes they are right. Lewis has lots of questions but no one seems to be able to answer them.
