The Children in Care Council
The Children in Care Council (CiCC) is a group
of young people who meet monthly. The aims of Children in Care Council are:.
- To make sure all children in care can have their say
- To help adults to communicate better with children in care
- To talk to the director and head of children's services because they have the power to make the changes
- To make sure the Pledge is always working
- To help adults improve children’s services for children in care
- To support other children in care
Support
Group meetings are held at venues around the East Riding in the school
holidays, when members of the CiCC showcase the work that they do, and offer
peer support to other children in care. Children’s Rights Officers also attend
to offer one-to-one Children’s Rights and Advocacy advice and information.
Every
six months the CiCC will consider whether other looked after children who have
demonstrated commitment through taking part in other events with the
Participation and Rights Team should be invited to join, either as additional members or
to replace members who have left.
