Advocating for Change
Home for Good seeks to both influence and deliver change in order to achieve our vision of finding a home for every child who needs one. We advocate because we recognise there are some challenges to achieving our vision that can only be unlocked at a political or systemic level. We take a hopeful, innovative approach, not just calling for change but demonstrating how it can be achieved. Central to our mission is the principle, ‘nothing about us without us.’ Which means we are dedicated to amplifying the voices of children, young people, and families with lived experience in the care system, ensuring that their perspectives and interests remain central to everything we do.
New Report: The Voices of Supported Lodgings
We are delighted to present The Voices of Supported Lodgings, a report that reflects the voices and experiences of young people who live in supported lodgings.
Pillars of advocacy
Relational
Engaging and partnering with those in positions of influence to enact change. This includes governments, parliamentarians and other decision-makers.
Research
To effectively advocate, we gather evidence on what works and what doesn't in the children's social care sector. This involves conducting our own research or commissioning studies as needed.
Reactive
Advocacy often requires a reactive approach. For instance, when a relevant story breaks in the media, we quickly amplify it to those in power or reach out to the source to gain deeper insights.
