Lifelong Links is an intervention (https://frg.org.uk/lifelong-links/what-is-lifelong-links/) that developed in response to findings from the Care Inquiry in 2013 that too often, the care system in the UK breaks rather than builds relationships. We know that during the time the child is in Local Authority care, there’s bureaucracy that prevents children from maintaining and developing their relationships with wider family and friends.
