Children's Services Review Engagement Workshops

The Department of Health has announced a Review of how social care services for children and families are delivered in Northern Ireland. The Review will take over a year to complete, and will be led by Professor Ray Jones, and supported by a professional Advisory Group.

It is really important that the review hears from those with experience of these services. In April 2022, VOYPIC established the Experts by Experience Reference Group, made up of over twenty young people from across Northern Ireland with lived experience of the services being reviewed.

But, the Review needs to hear as wide a range of voices as possible!

To make sure this happens, VOYPIC is delivering a series of workshops for those with lived experience of all the services being considered by the Review. 

The workshops will take place on Wednesday 24 August, at the Dunsilly Hotel, Antrim. The sessions are:

Care Experienced Young Parents - 10am-12pm

Care Experienced Young People - 12.30pm - 2.30pm

Young Carers - 3pm - 5pm

Care Experienced Adults - 5.30pm - 7.30pm
