Children in Care Council
Through the CICC there are opportunities for young people in care to co-produce and help shape Tameside MBC’s support for cared for children. Some examples of how the CICC have been involved in shaping the offer for cared for young people are:
- The Pledge – which was co-produced with the CICC
- Changing the terminology used by professionals so that the term “cared for children” is used instead of LAC to refer to children who are in care.
- Co-lecturing to trainee social workers at MMU to give those new to the profession an insight into life for cared for children.
- Involvement in the interview process for positions within Childrens Services.
