You can follow your religion whilst being in care. If you have been brought up in a religion, and it is important to you, your social worker should help you in making sure you can follow your religious beliefs.
This may include: • Going to a particular place of worship • Going to special classes for religious instruction • Going to a particular school • Eating, or not eating, certain foods • Wearing your traditional dress, rather than western clothes • Not having your hair cut
Ask your carer or social worker to support you in this. Below are some local churches:
Wakefield Central Mosque – Sanderson Street, Wakefield WF1 4PE
Wakefield Cathedral, Cathedral Centre, Westmoreland St WF1 1PJ
Jamia Masjid Swafia, Park hill lane, Wakefield WF1 4NJ
