Leaving care was the best day of my life

This is an audio recording from The Guardian’s wide range of audio and podcasts.

In this two and a half minute recording, young people talk about their experiences of leaving care, as part of a sound installation at the Stories of the World exhibition at the Foundling Museum. This recording was originally published on 24 May 2011 for a general public audience. It can be downloaded as an mp3 and kept.

I think recordings like these are particularly valuable as they can reduce the need for service-users to give their accounts repeatedly.
