A Nottingham campaigner who has been spearheading a nationwide fight to get more recognition for care leavers says he has been doing so in memory of his sister. Terry Galloway, 46, was first placed into care with his sister Hazel when he was just months old.
He eventually went on to experience more than 100 care placements in Manchester and later in Devon, before moving to Nottingham at the age of 25. Mr Galloway, who runs his own business, says the case of his sister is an example of what many who have experienced the care system as children and young people face in later life.
Hazel Galloway died in 2008 after being murdered by her partner Andrew Grundy, 33, who was a domestic abuser. Ms Galloway was just 33 at the time and Terry says that he and Hazel came up with the idea of trying to enact change in the care system together.
