How you can use it
- 1Tell your caseworker what makes a home safe for you.
- 2Say: “I want to be involved in choosing a suitable placement.”
- 3Ask for the reasons and next review date in writing.
What a violation looks like
You are placed somewhere unsafe, far from siblings or culture, with no say.
Words you can use
“This placement is not safe or suitable for me. I want a review.”
If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
