A year on from #GoneTooFar
A year on from the launch of our #GoneTooFar campaign on 25 April 2023, we look back at our key achievements on the campaign trail.
It’s been one year since we launched #GoneTooFar: Our campaign to keep children in care close to the people and places that matter to them.
We’re calling on the Government to:
- Commit to stop children being moved miles from home (unless in their best interests)
- Develop and publish national and local strategies to increase the supply of appropriate local options, so that children don’t have to be moved miles away from their support networks.

Highlights from a year of campaigning:
This is a national issue facing local authorities across the country, yet despite recent proposals to improve the care system, there’s still no national commitment or strategy to keep children close to the people and places that matter to them when it is in their best interest.
Our #GoneTooFar campaign seeks to keep children in care close to the people and places that matter to them – ensuring they have the love, stability, and security we all need to thrive.
“If we want the best outcomes for all care-experienced young people then we have to keep them within their local area, keep those relationships intact, keep that sense of community so they become the best person they can be.” – Kevin
