One of the ways that children in care can have their say is by being part of a Children in Care Council.
Our Children in Care Council is called Say it Loud Say it Proud – or SiLSiP for short.
SiLSiP is for all children who are in care or are leaving care. We get together once a month to discuss important issues about care and try and make changes for the better.
Joining SiLSiP is a great way to:
- share your views
- influence important people in the local council
- learn new skills
- meet other young people with experience of being in care
To find out about the next session, call the Participation Officer on 01344 351546.
