Have Your Say are a small group of young people, who are looked after and care leavers, and we are interested in giving a voice to all young people in care. We:

Are open minded

Keep the good things
Get rid of the bad things
Support each other
Share experiences
Make a difference

Activities include:

Finding out the views, opinions and ideas of young people on issues that affect them by:

Holding consultations
Running events
Having regular meetings
Running a website
Getting in touch using e-mail or the post.

Have Your Say take your views, opinions and ideas to senior staff and members of the council and also to the Youth Council. This information is then passed onto the Council and the Mayor.

Young people who have experienced care in North Tyneside can become involved with the things we do. For example they:

Come to Have Your Say meetings
Help us develop and run the website
Talk to Council staff about your views
Come and get involved with lots of activities
Give us their views by calling, emailing or coming to sessions
Come and help plan events
Interview and train staff who would like to work with young people.
