Overview
Requirements

As a charity The Children’s Society States (2020, P. 1) “We walk towards the young people that society crosses the road to avoid. We see something in these children that something is HOPE Hope for a happier home life, hope of getting a job, of getting away from people who exploit and hurt them. Hope of overcoming obstacles modern life puts in front of them and that tomorrow can be a better day. It’s right there in the centre of every young person in Britain. Even those who have it toughest of all, those who are neglected, exploited and unsafe.”
