A new Independent Children's Monitor report has found vulnerable children are being let down by the very system that's supposed to be caring for them.

The Returning Home From Care report found inconsistencies, data gaps and communication issues, when children are returned home while in State care.

The results have angered those with first-hand experiences, who say it appears nothing has changed in decades.

Delphine Herbert reports.
