The2019 Voices in Action Conference by CREATE Foundation in November will explore a range of critical topics including: how to include young voices in decision making processes; how to support and improve outcomes for young people transitioning from care; and the need to improve complaints processes for children and young people.

Among announced speakers is Caine Wild, founder ofFirst Step Wild, a company empowering children through hands-on outdoor educational programs that focus on positively impacting a child’s development, behaviour and achievement outcomes.
