General Election 2024: let’s put child welfare in the rooms where it matters

If your family is involved with children’s services you probably know that it can be a struggle to get the practical, emotional and financial support you and your children need. Poverty and cuts to services are making it worse.

And with record numbers of children in the care system, many more could be living safely and thriving with family and friends instead of miles away from them.

The general election campaign has kicked off and the candidates in your area are campaigning for your vote. It is your chance to make them sit up and listen.

Email your candidates:

Will you help by sending an email to your local candidates? It only takes 3 minutes with our easy tool.

We only have a few more weeks to make sure candidates understand how important support for children and families is to the people who can put them in power.

We need to tell them why we are calling on the next Government to urgently ensure families get the help they need early, so that children can live safely and thrive in their family, and children and young people in care and care leavers can have positive, loving relationships.

Use our easy tool to email your candidates today.

Get ready to vote:

Register to vote or check that your details are up to date on gov.uk.

Make sure that you have got your photographic ID to vote in person.

If you think you might find it difficult to vote in person on 4th July, apply for a postal vote.

Together we can put child welfare in the rooms where it matters in this general election. Together we can secure the changes families need.

Thanks so much for your help!
