We spent last Saturday at The Vibe Youth Centre in Acocks Green talking to 5 children in care aged between 8 and 12 (and one family friend age 12) Massive thank you to those children, their carers and the one social worker that came to support (Angela...thank you!)
We were disappointed that we only had a small group as we wrote to nearly 300 social workers and carers however the five children (and our extra helper) were very chatty and gave us lots to think about. We are hoping they (with other young children) might become a sub group of CiCC and help us understand what younger children think and feel about being in care.
