As human beings, we make sense of the world through stories. Storytelling is a fundamental part of how we share information. In order to capture the public imagination and secure backing for the changes that are needed, we need to tell a compelling story. Each and Every Child has brought together a group of paid consultants with different experiences of care to explore the framing recommendations.
Each and Every Child has a Voices of Experience reference group that supports with the operational direction of the initiative.

Quotes
Jimmy Paul
“It means we can tell stories in a way that is safe, that is powerful, that will mobilise people to act – whether in their role in the sector or as a member of the public.“
Chelbi Hillan
“People with lived experience are the experts, they are best placed to tell us what could have been better, what should have been there, what needs to happen for future generations.“
