The book, Who Am I? Promoting children's spiritual well-being in everyday life, by Margaret Crompton, said spirituality was as much a child's right as food, shelter, healthcare and education. David Gamble, Barnardo's chair of council, said, 'Some people think that looking after children's physical, mental and emotional needs is quite enough, but children's well-being is also linked to their developing understanding of themselves and their lives. The search for meaning in life can be even more acute for looked-after children, whose experiences have often been terrifying or destructive.'
The book costs 22 from Barnardo's on 01268 520224.
