Young People's Views

Cllr Pat Seaman, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said:

This is such an exciting and important project and I’m delighted Coventry is part of it

We really work hard to make sure children and young people in our care have their voices heard in the life-decisions that affect them. The House Project allows them to take control, learn crucial skills and give themselves the best chance of succeeding as they leave care. I can’t wait to see how the project develops and the house becomes a home

Young people at the heart of decision making

Their collective views and ideas drive the development of all House Projects through the Care Leavers National Movement. They meet on a regular basis to share good practice, talk about and find solutions to any challenges they are facing and to suggest new ways of doing things. They work hard, have fun and their views make a real difference to how young people leave care and move into their own homes.
