A summary
We’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to share your thoughts about the support that adopted and kinship young people receive—and to help shape future ideas and plans! The Department for Education (DfE) wants to hear directly from young people about what works well, what doesn’t, and what you feel would make support better in the future. Your voice has the power to influence real change. This isn’t a formal meeting—there’s no pressure, no right or wrong answers. It’s simply a relaxed and supportive space where you can talk about your experiences, share your ideas, and help adults understand what young people truly need. Whether you have lots to say or just want to listen and share a few thoughts, your input is valuable. Come along, have your say, and help shape the future of support for adopted and kinship young people!

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
