Speaker Box

Speaker Box aims to help make life better for children looked after and care leavers. Our specific aims are to

• Inform young people of their rights

• Encourage them to ask informed questions

• Support them to develop and express their views, values and feelings

• Enable them to make more informed decisions about their care and treatment

• Support them to develop meaningful and trusting friendships

• Have fun!

Some of the good things we’ve done

• Developed the ‘10 golden rules’ for social workers

• Won money through the youth opportunity fund to produce our South East Feast Cookery Book

• Advised the national organisation responsible for inspecting social care about how to consult with other young people

• Produce a regular newsletter for children looked after and care leavers

If you are looked after or a care leaver in Southwark you can join Speaker Box.
