Clare Holdsworth
Sheffield Children in Care Council
Clare facilitates for the Children in Care Council who represent the views of children and young people in care.
The Care Council is made up of 13- to 18-year-olds who want to improve things for themselves and others in care. Over the years they have made a suite of resources for training professionals using their experiences. They made an award winning ‘Placement Game’ training toolkit that shows when you feel you are in a placement rather than a family you feel like a counter in a board game. More recently they have written a book of creative writing called ‘The Can in Can’t’ and also performed rap and spoken word at a venue in Sheffield.
