Eva worked with the charity,Ìý, to host a roundtable event with the chair Dr John Simmonds OBE.

The objective was to stimulate discussion and work towards identifying solutions on how to improve the relational experiences of children in care and those who have spent time in the care system through changing policy and practice. Eva co-produced a roundtable report summarising the key points and recommendations from the discussion.

She also collaborated with care-experienced artists who created postcards summarising key findings around the themes of: Responsibility to Connect; Building to Last; What is Success without Relationships; Relationships Build Futures; and Untold Stories.

The findings will be shared widely, including with the ongoingÌýÌýteam and the Spotlight review run by theÌý.
