Last year 3 members of CICC and the 16+ Forum took part in the NAtional Children in Car eCOuncil

 

In autumn 2024, following the general election and appointment of a new Children’s Minister, A National Voice (ANV), the Children in Care Council for England, launched a consultation to gather the views of care-experienced young people.

We asked: What do you want the new Children’s Minister to focus on to make care better?
325 children and young people from 45 local authorities took part, sharing their priorities, personal experiences, and powerful messages for change. Find out more here
