Our Approach
CO-DESIGN
Our first phase, launched in April 2022, centres around a process of co-design with an initial core focus group of 11 care experienced individuals to inform the necessities of our pastoral care offer and our future programming. As part of this process, participants are offered opportunities to hear from experts in areas ranging from financial literacy to film techniques; mental health; to law.
ENGAGEMENT
Launching in March 2023, this next phase will see the expansion of our consultation processes whilst also starting an active community building programme. A series of events & workshops will be run for the wider community of care experienced individuals and supporting organisations with sessions ranging from information & advice event; creative workshops; industry evenings and networking events.
Activities will include 'human library' sessions, discussions on diversity and inclusion, narrative building workshops and much more.
THE FILM - Launching in January 2024 -2025
After a thorough application and review process, a specialised core team will be formed to produce the docuseries, with care leavers both in front of and behind the camera. Industry experts will provide technical support and mentoring, while a dedicated pastoral care programme will offer ongoing support throughout the project
