ABOUT

‘Trailblazer’ in the rights movement for children in care.

A founder member and Advisor to the National Association of Young People In Care – the first and only fully funded organisation run by and for young people in or ex-care. I also wrote the Report ‘Sharing Care’ – the first ever collection of national policies of people in and ex-care. See under REPORT (above). It had a major impact on the 1989 Children’s Act.

I made the very first ‘care’ videos ever – where young people in and ex care presented their views and showed their creativity.

I was also a member of RECLAIM – a #CEP peer support group which seeks to reduce the over influence of Charity Advocates on care experience and children’s rights.  

I am Lead Development on the Care Experienced Movement. A large body of care experienced advocates and activists representing all those who have led campaigns or set up organisations from within our community. And we are working towards a national organisation for all care experienced people.
