Action Change Equality (ACE)

ACE groups are for children and young people aged under 19 who have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and attend a school or college in Royal Greenwich. The groups are based in schools. 

Being part of ACE gives children and young people the opportunity to voice their views on making services in Greenwich more suitable for those with SEND.

Children in Care Council and Care Leavers’ Forum

Children in Care Council

If you're a child or young person in our care, you can get involved in our Children in Care Council. 

They help make things better for children and young people living in care by giving feedback to Corporate Parents about issues that are important to them and by working on different projects. They also have a lot of fun and laugh a lot.

Care Leaver's Forum

If you’re a care leaver, you can join our Care Leavers’ Forum, which gives ALL Greenwich care leavers a space to feedback on the services you receive and helps us make them EVEN better for you and others. 

They usually meet once a month, on a weekday evening and sometimes at the weekend.
