Children in Care Council

I'm writing this just before the autumn term starts, early indications show that exam results are good for Hertfordshire schools again.

The summer holidays are a great time for me to "get out and about". A couple of weeks ago on a very rainy day, along with over 50 children in care, I got involved in a variety of activities at the Celtic Camp in Hertfordshire. Richard Roberts, lead member and I were really pleased to hand out the Children in Care Awards to social workers and carers in what was a rather dark medieval hut! It had been a lively and successful day despite the weather and credit is due to the Children in Care council who have worked hard to get a range of children and young people coming to their events. It's inspiring to have care leavers who are creating new lives for themselves but still so committed to the Children in Care Council's activities.
