SUSU Council

 

If you’ve come to any of our Stand Up Speak Up groups, you’ll know that your voice and experiences is already an important part of helping improve the social care system and other services in Devon. But if you’d like to take this even further, we are always looking for young people who would like be part of our Stand Up Speak Up Council (also known as the SUSU Council).

Our SUSU Council is a group of care-experienced young people aged 15+ who meet regularly to discuss how to improve the lives of care leavers and young people currently in care. We will support you to get your voice heard so that you can take your knowledge and experience straight to the heart of Devon’s decision making. The SUSU council works closely with the Corporate Parenting Board and has a direct line to senior managers to make sure that what you say is impossible for them to ignore!

If you would like to be a part of our SUSU Council, all you need to do is talk to one of our participation workers about it or get in touch by email at participation@devon.gov.uk.
