The Care Council

The Care Council are a group of young people in the care of Hampshire County Council. As part of the Care Matters agenda, participation is a key component to youth engagement in Hampshire. It is also an opportunity for County Councillors to interact with children and young people by acting as 'Corporate Parents' - that is listening to key issues that matter most to children and young people and helping to make change a reality.
