Projects which have been awarded funding include Credo Care, which aims to find specialist foster placements close to home for young disabled people currently living in out-of-area residential care. The government said this new type of foster caring will focus on young people with the most complex needs, developing self-care skills and supportive networks.
Barnardo’s will use its share of funding to maintain and expand the role of the National Female Genital Mutilation Centre.
Other projects include:
