Leaving care forums

If you are in care or have left care, you can join our young people’s forum. This is your chance to have your say about the services you receive.

What Is the Forum?

Regular meetings for:

  • Young people in care or leaving care
  • Leaving care workers

You can talk about:

  • What works well
  • What needs to improve
  • Ideas for change

Your views help shape the services we provide.

How to Join

  • Tell your personal adviser (PA) you’re interested.
  • You’ll then be invited to meetings.
  • If there’s something you want discussed, let your PA know.

You can also email us: leaving.care@staffordshire.gov.uk
