Abstract

This paper considers the contemporary grounds-based system that underpins the Equality Act (2010) in relation to children and young people who have been in care. This article is a timely contribution to discussions about the rationale and effect of the experience of care, being acknowledged as a protected characteristic. The three tenets examined in this article are whether there: is definitional stability, evidence of inequalities and, if it reflects the perspectives of those with first-hand experience of care (Malleson, 2018). This article aims to provoke dialogue between policy-makers, academics, practitioners and those people who have first-hand experience of non-parental care.
