I spent the week busily making resources for the Corporate Parent Team Challenge day which celebrates how corporate parents can support young people in care. I helped to design some of the display boards and posters for the day. While doing this, I discovered what Mind Of My Own is (the app for children in care to use to interact with their social workers). If you are a young person looking to interact with your social worker, I highly recommend this app. I shadowed a few meetings and learnt about what VSK does and more details about fostering. I helped to make a scavenger hunt for an activity day later in the summer and perfected my skills in laminating! It was really fun and a great place to do work experience because I was able to learn lots of transferable skills.
