Man makes powerful promise to his sister after being traumatised by care system

A man from Manchester suffered horrific abuse and was moved dozens of times as a child in and out of the care system with his sister. Terry Galloway was placed in care as a child with his sister Hazel, and made her a promise shortly she died.

They were taken away from a family in Warrington where they were subjected to prolonged abuse before living in over a hundred different places from foster homes to refuges and squats. Hazel struggled with mental health problems and addiction because of this and was tragically murdered by her partner.

Terry was left devastated by this and committed to bringing about change for people who have experienced being in care. He has been lobbying councils across the country for changes that he says will bring about vital changes for young people in care.
