'Have Your Say' is the name of Warrington's Children in Care Council.
The Children in Care council aims to improve the service received by children in care by listening to the voices and views to those young people who are in the care of the local authority
Over the past year the Children in Care Council have met regularly with the director of children and young people's services and the head of the virtual school to ensure that the voices of children in care are heard. They have held a number of events for the junior members to gain their views and enjoy new experiences.
The ‘Have Your Say’ newsletter is distributed quarterly to every child in care to keep them up to date with the latest events and information, and to share good news stories. A link to the latest newsletter can be found at the bottom of the page
The group are also involved in a number of projects, including helping to recruit senior managers, meeting the children's minister, and sharing their experiences of being in care with Ofsted and other Children in Care Councils in the region.
‘Have Your Say’ are currently meeting on a regular basis at New Town House on a Tuesday evening between 5.00pm and 7.00pm for further information or to find out about the next meeting email mbober@warrington.gov.uk or 01925 851029
