A first year University of Exeter Law student has founded a project focused on improving the prospects of children in care.
Michael Berry, who is also a self-employed paralegal with the Fostering Foundation, is a care leaver himself and believes not enough is being done to give the child a voice and empower them with the self-confidence to have an active role in deciding their future.
