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

Voice of Young People In Care (VOYPIC)

This is a free event

We want to hear from young people across Northern Ireland with lived experience of care. This means any young person, up to 25 years old, who has experience living with foster carers, living with members of their extended family (kinship care), living in children’s homes, and/or living at home on a Care Order.

Earlier this year, the Department of Health announced a Review of how social care services for children and families are delivered in Northern Ireland. The Review is led by Professor Ray Jones, and supported by a professional Advisory Panel.

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!
