What is it?
The network was set up to provide a space in York & North Yorkshire for those who are actively engaged in working with or for care experienced young people to share best practice and discuss challenges/possible resolutions. As a collective voice, the network works together to disseminate evidence of effective regional practice to influence future policy and funding.

- To ensure any outreach activity is designed and delivered as a planned programme of interlocking interventions
- To promote the work of the group through active encouragement and dissemination of individual and collaborative initiatives
- To ensure educational progression opportunities, particularly to FE and HE are promoted and accessible to all care experienced young people
- To use the network email list to share research projects and other related literature and opportunities
