Professionals
A National Voice welcomes all professional contributions. If you work with young people from care we ask that you inform them about A National Voice and the work we do.
If you do policy work and would like to help A National Voice develop its own policies and procedures please get in touch. Our staff are available to help you with such tasks as consulting young people, training for professionals and organising events for young people. We also do public speaking and presentations (often we will support our members to do this). Sometimes we charge for our services.
ANV often organises events for our members and we always need professionals to help us facilitate these events, so please get in touch if you can help (you must be experienced and police checked.
Volunteers
A National Voice is developing a volunteer's policy. We always welcome voluntary input and can often cover expenses.
As a young organisation we are developing policies and procedures and expanding our membership and remit all the time, if you can help with this please get in touch.
Overnight Stays
For a long time A National Voice and others have been campaigning to make staying at a friends house simpler. Now the Minister for Children has clarified this issue.
