If you're a looked after child or a care leaver, you can get involved in our 3 forums, which represent different age groups:

• Dorset Children in Care Council
• Care Leavers' Forum
• Junior in Care Council

Care Leavers' Forum

If you have left care, or are about to leave care and you're aged between 16 and 25 we want to hear from you!

This is a group of young people that meets monthly to design and deliver campaigns to make Dorset social services better.

You'll get accredited training, help with your CV and make new friends and have a lot of fun!
