The National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum (NLCBF) is a collaborative network of over 130 local authority leaving care teams, focused on improving services and support for care-experienced young people. Its central goal is to amplify the voices of these young people and ensure their input shapes the forum's decisions and priorities. The forum encourages local authorities to involve as many young people as possible in the Young People’s Benchmarking Forum (YPBMF) to help drive positive change and share best practices.

The SGO academic research field in England and Wales lags significantly behind that of foster care and adoption. In this session, we will be joined by Julie Young who will be sharing her recent research which addresses this significant research gap around young people’s voices and the growing need to understand, as well as support, the experience of young people with SGOs.
