On Wednesday 25th June, ambassadors from A National Voice (ANV), the national children in care council, had the opportunity to meet with the new Children’s Minister, Janet Daby. The ambassadors shared powerful messages from care-experienced young people across the country, including:
-
The Grand Campaign, calling for fair access to the Setting Up Home Allowance
-
Findings from our national consultation Messages to the Minister, which gathered the views of 325 young people from 45 local authorities, highlighting mental health, being listened to, and relationships as top priorities
The Minister expressed interest in continuing the conversation and showed support for many of the ideas shared. ANV are hopeful this will lead to meaningful next steps.
