On behalf of the Department for Education, in December 2023 we launched a new Children and Young People's Advisory Board to provide valuable input on the government’s implementation of its children’s social care strategy ‘Stable Homes, Built on Love’.
The Advisory Board, made up of groups of children and young people aged 11-17 and 18-25 with direct experience of children’s social care in England, will bring together those with lived experiences of the system to play a part in ongoing reforms at a national and local level.
The Children and Young People’s Advisory Board aims to recruit a wide range of ‘experts by experience’, including those who have had a social worker, as well as those who are looked after or care leavers.
Recruitment for the Children and Young People’s Advisory Board is currently closed.
