Here is Ruby Foss. She is 15 and was born with cerebral palsy so has been in a wheelchair for most of her life. She attends Cariton Community School and enjoys drama and media studies. She wants to be an actor when she leaves school. The Foss family live at 20 Doolittle Crescent
The residents of Cariton began moving into the virtual village in June 2015. They were originally the figments of the imagination of the pupils who became the S3 care class. The new class of 2019 can add andf edit as they join the village. Each pupil will introduces us to four characters – one young child, one older person, one person who has a genetic condition and one person who has become disabled as an adult. They will have a variety of lifestyles and may be male or female but will give us the chance to explore human development and behaviour.
Cariton will be the source of our case studies and may become a soap in its own right. Wait and see!
