What is the LGBTQ+ care network
The LGBTQ+ youth in care network is a group of LGBTQ+ care leavers, local authorities, care organisations, residential care providers, independent fostering agencies, supported accommodation providers and any other organisation providing support for LGBTQ+ young people in care and care leavers that strive to make their services fully inclusive to LGBTQ+ people. We meet on a quarterly basis (digitally) and create manageable actions to build a better care system for LGBTQ+ people.
We are passionate about inclusion and firmly believe that all children and young people who identify as LGBTQ+ should be able to access the same care and resources as everyone else in a safe way without prejudice or feelings of rejection.
