About this listen

Foster carer Evette

Foster carers are fully-fledged human beings with life experience, education, and wisdom to share. It is worth listening to us because positive changes can happen when we are allowed to speak. Today's episode is from Evette, who has been instrumental in bringing about some important changes in the way the Police and the Care Service in Hackney work together to prevent the criminalisation of care-experienced young people.

We discuss some of the outcomes of the discussion groups we have held between foster carers, the Youth Engagement Team officers of the local Met Police Borough Command Unit and Children's Social Care staff in Hackney. If you would like to learn more about the project, email hackneyfostercarerscouncil@gmail.com
