Young people and participation

The young people's project in England works with young people on a number of diverse and exciting initiatives, all aimed at allowing young people's voices to be heard:

Leading Our Lives - a participation project led by care-experienced young people

The Fostering Network has received Big Lottery funding to run a new project called Leading Our Lives. The project will enable fostered children, care leavers and sons and daughters of foster carers to have a genuine voice in their own future and in services affecting them.

Telling My Story project

A new factsheet, Improving literacy for children who are looked after: tips for foster carers, has come out of this project funded by the Roald Dahl Foundation after five innovative storytelling events proved very popular in Telford, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow and Cornwall.
