This involves ensuring that all vulnerable adults, children and young people, not just foster children, but also birth children have full participation in all areas and that they are also fully involved and feel they are able to contribute to Banya’s Services. Participation enables all those who use our service to feel that their voices are listened to and that their views, concerns and ideas can be expressed. Relevant, creative and thoughtful activities and tasks must be designed and completed in order for this to take place, for example, forums. Introduction: Full participation, involvement and contribution are crucial and are at the heart of Banya’s Strategy. Participation has been shown to make a significant, measurable difference in the way in which services are shaped and provided to vulnerable adults and young people in care and leaving care. As an independent provider, we are committed to hearing about experiences within Banya and the services received from us. We are also very committed to listening to feedback about placements, carers, and experiences in fostering and shared lives. Whether positive or negative feedback and issues, here at Banya we understand that it is important to listen to all views and work alongside those who use our services and stakeholders to deliver improvements that reflect their views. When receiving this feedback, we feel at Banya that relatives and friends the birth children of our foster carers hold just as valuable views, and they are therefore involved in all areas of participation. We understand that it is not just the foster carers that play a significant role in fostering, but all those in the fostering home. This work centres on promoting the five centres from the ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda and developing positive outcomes for vulnerable children and young people and ‘Key Lines of Enquiry for vulnerable adults.
