What the petition asks
Looked after children can be severely affected by discrimination, even though they have legal rights to protect them. These rights need to be published in one place to make it easy for those affected and social services to find so that they can be better enforced.
The rights of looked after children are split between the Equality Act, the Children Act 1989, the Adoption and Children Act 2002, and the Children the Families Act 2015.
