THE VISION
Vision with action can change the world. Creating the balance in power through empowerment.
Our aspiration is to create change for children and young people through combining lived expertise with professional expertise.
WHY CHOOSE THE VISION?
The ultimate use of power is to empower others
Empowerment
Inequality is bred through power. Individuals and groups feel powerless due to a world that has so many power imbalances. This has created financial, emotional, economical instabilities for many. Children and adults who have experienced the care system are controlled by many. They are controlled by the state, individual professionals, family, their emotions, their trauma, and society through stigmatisation.
The Vision’s aim is to remove the power imbalance between social care professionals and experts by experience. The ethos is to combine lived experience experts and social care professionals to create change for children and young people.
Social Responsibility
We are aware of the poor outcomes for care experienced people and other disempowered groups who have experienced trauma in their lives. In 2019, 25% of the homeless population are care experienced, 25% of the adult prison population are care experienced, 41% of 19–21-year-old care experienced adults are not in education, training, or employment and 50% of under 21-year-olds in contact with the criminal justice system are care experienced.
