EPIC Youth Council

Youth campaigners and advocates campaigning for change

The EPIC Youth Council is a representative of young people with care-experience who advise EPIC and national stakeholders on issues and themes of concern to children and young people in care.

EPIC Youth Council members also work on campaigns and projects to improve the outcomes for children and young people in care at national level across thematic areas identified by members and the wider care community.
