Using our Lived Experience to Shape a better Care Experience for Black Children and Young People in Children’s Social Care

Welcome to The Black Care Experience™. Our vision is to see that every Black Child and Young Person remains connected to their Culture, Identity and Heritage as they journey through the Children’s Social Care System, across the UK and Worldwide.

Black we define as a Child and Young Person whose Ethnic Origin is either African, Caribbean including Mixed Race with African or Caribbean Heritage.

Our vision is made possible by bringing together an inclusive Network of diverse Children’s Social Care Workforce and Voluntary Sector Workforce within Children’s Social Care, to improve their systems and practice by learning from the Lived Black Care Experience and Black Family Members who have had experience of Children’s Social Care. The Network also provides a space for best practice to be shared. 

Our vision is to also host Events that inspire hope and bring together our Black Children and Young People In Care and Care Leavers.
