Young People in Care Fora/EPIC

EPIC is a national charity working with and for children and young people who are currently living in care or who have had experience of living in care. This includes those in residential care, foster care, hostel, high support and special care, as well as children and young people preparing to leave care and in aftercare. EPIC currently provides the only independent national 1:1 advocacy and support service to children and young people in care and aftercare and also works in the areas of research, policy development and child and youth engagement and participation. In carrying out its role EPIC works both directly with children and young people and also with other organisations that work with children and young people in care.
