A teenager in foster care, Lamar from Portsmouth, was moved 100 miles away from her community to Luton, sparking her involvement in creating a film with other care leavers to raise awareness about the challenges faced by children in care who are relocated far from familiar surroundings. The film, “Gone Too Far,” produced in collaboration with the charity Become, highlights the impact of such displacements on children’s well-being, education, and relationships. Become advocates for government and local authorities to address the lack of suitable placements near children’s homes and reduce inappropriate relocations, emphasizing the importance of stability and support for children in care.
