Are you a young person in care or have you left care in the last 5 years? What are your concerns and worries? Do you know how and where to get support? How has your access to health services been affected by being in the care system?
As part of our Hidden Homeless project, we are looking to talk to people who have experience of the care system to find out what’s important to them regarding their health, care, and wellbeing and discover what works and what needs improvement regarding this.
If you are currently, or have previously been, involved in the care system, we would like to hear from you in whichever way suits you best; this may be meeting for a face-to-face chat, or communicating by phone, email, or video call.
We hope to raise awareness of the needs, as well as contribute to improving outcomes, for people involved in the care system, as we understand that there may be additional barriers and issues which affect you accessing and engaging with the services you need.
If you would like to find out more, or have a discussion and perhaps feed into the project, please email [email protected] or call 0300 500 1895 and ask to speak to Sara. Complete anonymity is assured for anyone who is willing to take part.
