Hearing You

It is important that young people have the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas and opinions about their care and the issues that matter to them. There are a number of ways children and young people can make their voices heard.

Hear Me Voice Groups

Our Hear Me voice groups play a vital role in ensuring children and young people with care experiences have a say in issues that matter to them. They bring together passionate and dedicated young people with those who run care services to share their experiences and ideas on how to improve the support and the services they receive. 

You can find out more about them below:
