Charlotte Armitage

Charlotte Armitage is a Care Experienced young woman, and second year History and Sociology student at the University of Glasgow. Prior to university, Charlotte worked at Who Cares? Scotland. Much of her work at Who Cares? Scotland focused on the exploration of the history of care in Scotland and unheard Care Experienced groups, including Care Experienced parents. Within this role, Charlotte was responsible for launching the first Care Experienced History Month, which was celebrated around the world in April 2021. Now working for the Scottish Parliament, Charlotte has maintained her interest in the history of care through her degree and remains firm in her belief that in order to move forward for Care Experienced people in the present, we must acknowledge, accept and learn from the systematic oppression, abuse and mistreatment of Care Experienced people in the past.
