Mini-CICC (age 7 to 13)

The Mini Children in Care Council (Mini-CICC) is a young person's council and social group for looked after children aged 7-13.

At this group we:

make friends and have lots of fun
help young people to have their voices heard
use the kitchen facilities to develop our cooking and independence skills
get involved in various projects to improve the services we use
give our views and opinions on services - what is working well for us and what needs to be improved
have drop-ins from services (e.g. street wardens, police, digital resilience)

add

The group meets every three weeks at Easterside Hub.
