Kent’s Children In Care Council (CICC)
Tell us what you want from your Children In Care Council and
win an iPod Touch!
2012 will mark the biggest step forward for the Kent Children In
Care Council (CICC) since it started in 2008.
We are planning to:
- Set up 6 local councils and a new central CICC.
- Set up a junior council for our 6 to 10 year old looked after
children.
- Give you a chance to take part if you are living outside
Kent.
- Offer 6 fun activity days where you can have your say about
what happens in Kent and have a go at loads of great outdoor
activities.
- Create 7 new job opportunities for looked after children / care
leavers to become apprentice participation workers or
administrators.
- Give County CICC members a chance get qualifications at
exciting venues like the Kent Mountain Centre in Wales and on the
‘New Petra’ Belgian barge which, moored in Ostend in Belgium.
- Work with you to build a looked after child /care leaver
website where you can get advice on education, healthy eating,
exercise and what you are entitled to, including information about
our pledge to you. The website will be packed with stories,
cartoon, webcasts and games! It will be a place where you can have
your say and where you can hear what your local CICC and County
CICC are doing for you.
This is what we have in mind BUT let’s start like we mean to go
on.
We want to hear from you!
If you are a child or young person looked after by Kent County
Council or a care leaver (aged 16 to 24) receiving ongoing support
from Kent County Council please take a few minutes to
fill in this online questionnaire.
Take this opportunity to make a difference and say what you
think we should do to develop the CICC.
Not only will we listen to what you say, but we will complete a
random draw when the questionnaire closes and the lucky winner will
receive an iPod Touch!
