Introduction to the Bright Spots Programme
The Bright Spots Programme has been working with children in care and care leavers since 2013 to explore their views and experiences of what makes life good for them. The programme continues to work with local authorities across the country to capture children and young people’s voices and respond to what they say.
In a short video, Linda Briheim-Crookall explains what the Bright Spots programme is and how it works with children and young people to identify what’s important to them and their wellbeing.
