Chilypep established the About Care Experienced Council which is now being coordinated by NYAS. The information on this page is about the history of the project and some of the work we carried out.

Chilypep Care Experienced Project

This is how the care experienced project looks:-

ACE table

ACE: The care council looks at issues that affect children looked after and take them forward to managers in social services. Young people also receive training, ASDAN accreditations and take part in fun physical team building activities.

CLIQUE: Meets to identify common issues, develop an awareness training programme for them to deliver to adults, and supporting them to meet with and share their views with Social Services decision makers.

Sheffield International Group: Meets to discuss issues that affect them and to develop better communication with Social Services decision makers.

Examples of our work include:

• Membership packs out to all children looked after in Sheffield inviting them to become a member of the care council (ACE)
• Care council training facilitated by a National Voice
• ASDAN accreditation
• Outdoor activities in Castleton
• Participation training
• Creating structures and projects to involve young people in decision making
• Supporting young people to make applications for Youth Opportunity Funding for activities & projects
