Recommendation
Children in care and those with care experience are particularly vulnerable to financial instability and legal aid is crucial to allow them access to justice. The Government must urgently act to increase provision in legal aid deserts. Where legal aid should be available in theory, it must be available in practice. Provision shortages must not constitute a barrier to the ability of children in care and those with care experience to access justice. (Recommendation, Paragraph 269) 107
