It is an honour as an ambassador for care experienced individuals I support introduce the participation and engagement strategy for Cumberland. As an ambassador I have a great commitment to make sure children and young people’s voices are listened to and acted upon.
Being a care experienced individual myself I know the challenges we may face but also the great potential that children and young people have when they know their rights and the choices available to them.
As an ambassador I am passionate about making sure that there are safe spaces for our groups so that all children and young people feel listened to and feel comfortable to share their experiences to help us to develop services that support children and young people to reach their full potential.
I hope that this strategy will help show the commitment to giving children and young people a voice and will allow them to be taken seriously in shaping their lives and communities.
