The focus of my role is to work directly with young people in care (under 18s) to understand their experience of the care system. As part of my role I manage our Under12s participation group and our 12 to 17 group the Children in Care Council. I also manage our young person-led training group who deliver the In My Shoes training to staff. I am also responsible for the recruitment of new young people into the groups!

Fun fact: I love me a bit of DIY and have built a range of furniture like tables and chairs!

The focus of my role is to work directly with our population of care leavers (18-25) to understand their experience of the Leaving Care Service. As part of that, I manage our Care Champions, participation group. I co-ordinate our care-leavers led training of staff and I'm responsible for the recruitment of new care leavers into these groups. I also work with the Leaving Care Service to organise a range of activities & workshops for care leavers to access over the course of the year.

Fun Fact: I create 360* virtual tours of buildings and supercars in my spare time.
