Happy Birthday VOYPIC 🎉

31 years ago today, a group of young people in care, and the adults that supported them, came together to talk about how children with experience of care could be better supported. From that meeting, VOYPIC was born.

Just wanted to say big thank you to @emeldajane2 and BBC for taking time to cover the care experienced young people taking @ulsteruni short course on developmental trauma. The multiple challenges they face need recognition and acknowledgement, and this will help in that regard.

Delighted to support this collaborative course. Congratulations to all involved. #ProudOfUU

[VOYPIC @VOYPIC]

We’re delighted to be working with @DomMcSherry1 and friends in @UlsterUni on this great project, providing input to the course, and mentoring support for the participants throughout.
