team of researchers at University College London working on the MIRRA project. The project explored how child social care records have been created, kept, and used in public and voluntary organisations in England since 1970 to date (Hoyle, 2019; Lomas, 2022). MIRRA suggests three key actions to influence and encourage positive change with regard to developing a framework for human-centred record keeping.

Children and young people should be at the heart of record keeping which is reflective of their lives. 4.3 Phase 3: Missing Chapters project - Interviews with young people by project workers The Missing Chapters project formed phase three of this research. However, it took place independently and was led by care-experienced junior project support workers employed by the lead LA. The junior project support workers worked with their Children in Care Council to place the voices of those directly impacted at the forefront of the research. Grounded in participatory methodology, the project empowered care-experienced ind
