MCYPC recently attended member training for our new Corporate Parents! We provided ‘The voice of the child’ training created by young people to train professionals on your experiences and the support young people would like from their workers whilst in care experience. 🙌😌

It's important to celebrate achievements of young people in care to remind them that we're here for support & that we're proud of all challenges they overcome. Can anyone support the event? #supportlocal #localbusiness #timetoshine @medway_council @ylfcharity #medway
