Child's Voice opportunities

The Rights and Participation Service (RAP) aims to empower children and young people to be involved in strategic, local and day-to-day decisions that affect their lives. 

We challenge and champion children and young people’s rights to ensure that when decisions are made children and young people are involved, consulted and listened to. 

We have a whole team that support children and young people who might be involved with the Children's Trust. 

Our children and young people created a name and logo that spans all the different participation groups we have. They have called this 'United & Unique'! 

 

We have a team of advocates; we support volunteers who befriend and mentor our children and young people, and we work alongside our different Children in Care Council’s and Forums to make sure that children and young people’s voices are heard loud and clear! 

We value young people’s input and we can support you to do this in a range of ways, including advocacy.
