Description

We require a short guide to support councils and other organisations who wish to work with those with care experience for the purposes of co-production, consultation, training or other forms of engagement in which a person's lived experience of children's social care is a key part of the expertise they bring. This follows feedback from some in the care experienced community who highlight poor practice in this area, including lack of payment and an expectation that traumatic experiences will be recounted.
