This year brings us the first ever Care Experienced History Month. This month will aim to raise awareness regarding what it means to be care experienced. The voices of care experienced individuals matter and are so important. Global recognition is needed so that we can come together, showing support and equality.
We will be working with young people this month as normal to ensure their voices are heard. We will also be using our social media platforms to raise awareness further and highlight key issues for care experienced individuals.
We also understand that this month may trigger emotions for some individuals. If you are care experienced and feel that you need support please see the following links below:
