Care Experienced YPN

The young people's network was a group of 10 care experienced people, campaigning to improve support for care leavers. We have now disbanded (funding ended).

And here it is! Thank you🙏 to everyone who contributed to our #CEP-led💪 'guide to housing for care leavers looking for their first home'🏡 in #NCLW21 💕the finished product is now ready to share (!!) with care leavers & professionals who support them👉https://t.co/VDpxMq5ssw

In light of the @reviewCSC dropping, we've been thinking about how #CEP (of all ages) should be involved in making the recommendations a reality. Our little exploration of CEP involvement in policymaking feels ever more relevant!

[Care Experienced YPN @CareExp_YPN]

And here it is! The first of three research reports- this one on involving #CEP in policymaking. Let us know what you think - does this resonate? What can be done about our recommendations? 🧐👏🥳📣 shout out to @limecartwrong who led on this work! 💪

We love that months after its launch we're still getting so many emails about our research report on relationships 🫂🤝 if you haven't read it yet, it's a short read and you can find it here! #CEP https://t.co/W7VywZeZwq

Looking forward to #CEPHistoryMonth in April - we've got a few things to share with you, and can't wait to see what everyone else puts out into the world this year 💪

Ace to reflect on narrative & agency, ongoing consent, and culture & resourcing across the intersections of engagement, arts and research. Loving merging my worlds with the support of @IpsosMORI and @EsmeeFairbairn with the influence of gems like @wearebluecabin and @PhotoVoice

[Care Experienced YPN @CareExp_YPN]

We have been absolutely inundated with messages and emails lately and can't thank you enough for your support of our work. The project is finished but we're still about 😊 we'll get back to everyone in the new year and hope you all get some well deserved rest over the holidays x

@DrscEdpsych Thanks! We love mentorship as a solution too 😊

[Care Experienced YPN @CareExp_YPN]

And here it is, our final research report and last offering to the world from our two year peer-led project. It certainly gave us a lot to think about, we hope it does for you too 👇👇 #CEP https://t.co/W7VywZeZwq

@drclairebaker @pureinsight1628 We're a bit of a fan of Pure Insight's mentoring work! @Sturmsy gave a seriously powerful interview, could have talked to her all day!

In the run up to the holidays we've been reflecting on the findings from our final piece of research. This one was particularly challenging to deliver, but also gave us the space to reflect on some of hardest aspects of being care experienced. Report drops on Wednesday! #CEP

@EsmeeFairbairn Thanks for sharing! Our favourite part is the last page which shares all of the feedback from our call out "what I'd tell myself if I was looking for my first home, given what I know now" 🫂
