How foster agency builds co-production into its everyday procedures

2 mins read Participation
Young people steering group helps shape agency's future fostering services and gives fostered children a voice.

Orange Grove is an independent fostering agency established in 1996, currently taking care of more than 400 children across the South East, Midlands, North West and Yorkshire. The agency believes that the voices of fostered children and young people need to be heard, so that they have the opportunity to shape services in partnership with decision makers.

A children and young people's steering group was established across the Orange Grove Yorkshire offices so as to develop positive and responsive working relationships with the children and young people we care for.

Each Orange Grove office has dedicated family support workers who support and listen to children and young people in foster care. The steering groups build on this by providing a forum where children and young people can meet, share their views and make a difference.
