The route maps under this foundation are about ensuring the voice of children, young people, their families, principal caregivers and care experienced adults are prioritised. When the promise is kept, voice will always be heard and no decision will be taken about lives without clear, documented evidence of views being taken into account.
What the promise said:
"Children must be listened to and meaningfully and appropriately involved in decision making about their care, with all those involved properly listening and responding to what children want and need. There must be a compassionate, caring, decision making culture focused on children and those they trust."
