'There is not one person who I know from my time in care that is not still dealing with the impact of what happened to us when we were there.'
A care leaver has said that years of trauma and abuse living in the system is causing an addiction and mental health crisis for young people years after leaving it.
He said that most people he grew up with in care suffered with some form of addiction or mental health issue, with some passing away as a result of this over the past few years. "My mum was in care when she gave birth to my older sibling and it was a very distressing situation for us all whenever me and my siblings were taken from her and forced to relive the same things that she did.
"I tried to leave and go back to my mum countless times but always ended up back there. It is still difficult to comprehend the trauma that I and others suffered during our time in care and there are still things that I am sure I have blocked out completely." "During this time I was still trying to manage the trauma that I had suffered in care and it took my years before I was finally able to push through it and become secure in life."
