Skye’s Story
Female
15 yrs old
Skye was living in a kinship placement with her maternal
grandparents for 13 years. There had been an incident in the
home where she was removed and placed in an emergency foster
placement. She thought this was temporary but was told by Social
Care she could not return home to her grandparents.
Skye and her grandparents were not happy about this and it was
unclear why she could not stay with her grandparents.
Skye got an advocate to help challenge the decision made by
Social Care. There was a planning meeting the following
week.
In the meeting, advocate made it a priority that Skye’s views
about wanting to remain with her grandparents were expressed and
later helper her make a complaint about how Social Care handled the
situation.
Outcome
Skye was returned to her grandparents care. Skye and her
grandparents were happy with this outcome.
