Details

Southwark’s Speaker Box provides support to looked after children and care leavers, targeting those aged from 8 to 24 years. It ensures that they have a voice; that the messages from consultation are heard and acted on by decision-makers. Speaker Box operates independently and is run by those in care and care leavers. It is supported by children’s services practitioners, senior managers, elected members and other agencies including health and youth services.
