Top tips if you are new into care

We asked young people in care across Devon to share their top tips and advice for you when you first come into care to help you through those first few weeks.

Stand Up, Speak Up

If you are aged 11 or older, there are lots of opportunities for you to share your views and get your voice heard through Stand Up Speak Up, our children in care council. They run lots of groups and events where you can have fun, make new friends and have a say in decisions that affect you and other young people.
