Care Experienced Young People and Corporate Parents - How do we fit together?

Hi – we are corporate parents – the official term of people who work for organisations who support care experienced children, young people and families. We’d like to change this title to make it more friendly.

We are made up of people who care about the opportunities and experiences of care experienced children and young people. Most of the time we use our professional judgement, but we would like to hear from you if we are getting it right.

We’d like you to get involved to ensure we are getting it right.

We already speak with a small group of care experienced children and young people and they like to hear what we do and can ask us to do things for them. We’d like to make this group bigger. Would you like to be part of that group?

We’d like to do things that are more fun that just meetings. Anyone can be involved. You don’t need to be a care experienced child or young person. You could be a family member, carer or friend.

To help us do this we’ve created a few ways to get your ideas and take the first steps. You will find these below - it’s up to you which of these you fill in. You can add as much or as little as you like, it will all be helpful. There are three different tabs to choose, quick polls, Ideas and Forum. Thanks for helping us make this better.
