  3. The Importance of Relationships

Importance of Relationships

Relationships play an integral part of everyone's lives and throughout our entire lifetime. This project, the Importance of Relationships, was created to highlight the importance of relationships in the lives of care-experienced young people as they grow up and after they have left the care system. We know that positive and sustained relationships are key to ensuring that care-experienced young people go on to lead happy and successful lives on their own terms.

During the project, we interviewed care-experienced young people alongside one person who has made a difference in their lives. Each interview consisted of four questions:

  • What makes a good relationship between a young person and a worker/carer/etc.?
  • What are your most vivid memories of each other?
  • What do you do for each other that really makes a difference? And;
  • Why do you think relationships are important?

Throughout this project, it was clear that even just one positive and consistent relationship in a care-experienced young person's life can make a world of difference.

We've put together the video below to give you a brief overview of the project, and the interviews themselves can be found below.
