Getting Involved with VOYCE

Getting involved with VOYCE can look like a lot of different things for different people. If you’ve got a young person in your care who is care experienced (a young person or child who is living with people who are not their family of origin) then VOYCE is here to help support them.

Working with VOYCE: informed consent

When young people engage with any service, it’s super important that they’re asked to give ‘informed consent’. This means that they understand and agree to what’s involved and how their information will be kept safe.

It’s young people’s choice whether to work with VOYCE, and they can change their mind at any time. To help them make a decision about whether to work with us, we have created this Informed Consent pamphlet.

Whānau care is where a child is being raised by someone in their whānau or extended family. Often it means a child living with their grandparents – but could also be another family member like an aunt, uncle or older sibling. Whāngai is the traditional Māori practice of whānau care.
