Children's Services Review Engagement Workshop - Care Experienced Young Parents

The Department of Health has announced a Review of how social care services for children and families are delivered in Northern Ireland. The Review will take over a year to complete, and will be led by Professor Ray Jones, and supported by a professional Advisory Group.

It is really important that the review hears from those with experience of these services. In April 2022, VOYPIC established the Experts by Experience Reference Group, made up of over twenty young people from across Northern Ireland with lived experience of the services being reviewed.

But, the Review needs to hear as wide a range of voices as possible!

We want the Review to hear from care experienced young parents. 

This means any young person, up to 25 years old, who has experience of care (foster care, kinship care, children’s home, and/or living at home on a Care Order), and is now a parent. 

We want to hear about supports for young parents in and leaving care, supports for their children, and how this can be improved.
