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

In this two minute recording young care leavers talk about whether they let people know that they were in care, as part of a sound installation at the Foundling Museum. It is a companion recording to that I looked at yesterday.

This recording was originally published on 24 May 2011 for a general public audience. It can be downloaded as an mp3 and kept.

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.
