Welc ome to your new l ’s inside... t a h w t u o k c e Ch

Last issue, we asked you to tell us what you thought of SpeakOut, we listened and have made some changes! We wanted to make SpeakOut more current, so we got rid of some of the rather dated regular features. SpeakOut’s readers can be anything from 11-25 years old, so we’ve made the general ‘look and feel’ a bit more grown-up but included a double page spread at the back especially for our younger readers.

The Quiz page is now bigger and better. But most importantly, we got more young people involved in the production of the magazine; this time we recruited young Editors to write articles, pick content and help decide how SpeakOut should look. Now more than ever we can say that SpeakOut is a magazine FOR care experienced young people BY care experienced young people.

n 2012 SpeakOut met Nathan, an aspiring young chef who’d just spent a day in one of the formidable kitchens of the Gleneagles Hotel, 3 years later Nathan is about to start a full time job as a comi-chef there. He joins us in Glasgow to tell us what he’s been up to…

SO: What have you been doing since we last saw you

then?

SO: N:

SO: Firstly congratulations on your new job! Well done!

Thanks very much.

N: SO: N:

Nathan, you seem to have brought an entourage with you. Can you tell us who these 5 people are? These are 5 really important people in my life, who’ve supported me to get where I am today. They’re my team! We’ve got Sharon my Throughcare worker, Leanne and Louise who are workers from my residential unit and Jamie and Marion who were my foster carers.

SO: Lovely. So how are you feeling about your new job? N:

I’m feeling a wee bit nervous but very excited! Buzzing!

W H O CA R E S? S COT LA N D

I’ve been working in different restaurants for the last 2 years. Most recently I spent 2 weeks working in the Dunblane Hilton. Then I saw the job advert for comi-chef at Gleneagles. I still had the head chef’s email address from when I did my training day there, so I decided to email him. He responded by inviting me for a chat, which then turned into a trial shift where I had to cook and plate up for 162 diners! I was on main courses which is a great challenge but really stressful! Head chefs have a bit of a reputation for being difﬁcult, what’s the Gleneagles head chef like? He’s brilliant and really supportive. He said he respected me for taking the initiative to email him about the job.

SO: What happened after the trial shift? N:

I got to stay overnight in their staff accommodation and then met the head chef and the sus chef the next day. They said I’d handled myself better than some professional chefs would in that environment and they were impressed. Then they told me I’d got the job! I was speechless!

SO: How do you feel about leaving your unit? N:

Sad. It’s tough leaving care and I’m used to being looked after but I think I might have landed on my feet with this job.

Speak Out Magazine | MAY 2015

LIFESTYLE

SO: Tell us how

you got into cooking?

I was never the best at school but in 2nd year I started an SVQ qualiﬁcation in cooking and continued onto a city & guilds hospitality and catering course. Then from age 1517 I worked as a KP (kitchen porter) in a restaurant in Falkirk. It was a Spanish restaurant that served tapas (lots of small plates of food) and the head chef there taught me everything he knew. Working in a kitchen is like being part of a family and I really enjoyed that.

SO: What’s the toughest thing about being a chef? N:

The hours! You have no social life, the kitchen is your life! It is tough but knowing that you’ve worked really hard for the things you have is really rewarding.

SO: Do you have any dreams for the future? N:

I would love to travel to France, where cooking was born, and be a chef there.

SO: What’s your message for any care experienced

young person who might be reading this? N: If you asked me 3

years ago where I’d be, I deﬁnitely

wouldn’t have said about to start a job cooking in one of the best hotels in the world. I never thought this would happen! I just want other young people to know - no dream is too big! If you’re interested in something just keep at it, and remember if you don’t ask you don’t get, it was the best decision of my life to email the head chef at Gleneagles! You just have to think what’s the worst they can say! SO: Thanks so much for answering our questions

Nathan, and from everyone at SpeakOut and WC?S we wish you the best of luck with your new job! Nathan is one of the newest Members of the WC?S family and he says he is most looking forward to the Summer Camp. If you too would like to become a Member or learn more about the camp – visit membership.wcscot.org and sign up to be a WC?S Family Member. If you have an inspiring story to tell email kmacmillan@whocaresscotland.org or speak to your WC?S worker.

IN CARE ON AN ISLAND T

his article should give you a taste of what it is like to live on an island, both as a teenager and as a care experienced young person. As you will see, there are both positives and negatives but what we would most like you to take away is just the understanding of how different it is to living on the mainland.

The Western Isles are made up of several islands and we live on the biggest of these islands, the Isle of Lewis and Harris which are joined together. The island has a population of around 27,400 and 7,500 of these people live in the main town called Stornoway. However, living on an island has its downsides. We only have two small main streets with no big name shops, in fact there are hardly any shops at all. This means we are unable to buy the latest fashions at reasonable prices, except over the internet. Even then, some places won’t deliver to the island or charge us extra. If the weather is severe and the ferry is unable to cross from the mainland we can sometimes be without fresh food for days. We only have one small cinema so ﬁlms can take months to be

shown here. There are fewer opportunities and resources for teenagers here and boredom is a huge problem. There is one college on the island and courses are limited so often you have to leave the island to study, which means leaving behind family and friends. Unemployment figures are high and a lot of the jobs go to people from the mainland as they have the qualifications we don’t. As Care Experienced Young People, it’s difficult to be anonymous on the island and it’s tough when a lot of people know your story and judge you for it. There aren’t enough support groups here and we often feel isolated from others who understand how we feel. Maintaining contact with family on the mainland can be difficult and sometimes contact can

be lost, on the other hand, you could end up leaving the island if your placement breaks down. It’s scary knowing you could be taken away from everything and everyone you know. So far we have been fairly negative but there are lots of positives to life here too. We feel very lucky to live on such a beautiful island. We have stunning beaches and lots of quiet and beautiful spots to visit, and just when you think the scenery can’t get any better, it does. There’s a beautiful castle which provides the back drop to our now famous Hebcelt music Festival, this 3 day event attracts people from all over who come to listen to a mix of famous names and local artists. The atmosphere in the town is always good over the summer as the island is very busy with tourists.

Chloe (17), Megan (21), John (14), Paul (17), Sean (18) and Josie(17)

The island is very clean as there is not a great volume of trafﬁc and there is hardly any pollution. We have lots of local fresh produce and the older more traditional islanders still live off the land. The crime rate is lower here, so it feels a much safer place to live. As a group of young people we all know each other and are able to stick together and look out for each other, which is important. We hope this has given you a “wee taste” of our lives in the Western Isles. It is a mixed bag. Some of us like it whilst some of us are jealous of people who live on the mainland. Some of us prefer the safe feeling of a small town whilst others long for the variety of a big city. The one thing we can agree on is, for the time being, it’s home.

A special message from Ashley Cameron, Who Cares? Scotland Ambassador for Care Leavers

“As one of the 21 young people who helped secure these rights – I can’t believe today is actually here. I am pleading with care experienced young people who can use these new rights – to do so. I am asking corporate parents to embrace their new role with pride. Together, we are all thanking those Scots who have taken the pledge2listen as part of the Scottish Government backed campaign to end the stigma associated with care. We know Scotland’s care system can be phenomenal… and we believe today, with the new rights afforded to young people, is the ﬁrst of many steps we need to take to realise this. I won’t beneﬁt from these changes, but knowing future generations will makes it all worthwhile.”

May I introduce 3 of our newest Alumni Members… Chris Guasp, Laura Beveridge and Lorraine Gormley. On Thursday 19th March, these 3 Alumni Members came to our national ofﬁce in Glasgow to help plan and shape the future direction of the WC?S Alumni. This was also an opportunity for them to meet with each other, myself, 2 WC?S Ambassadors and Chief Exec, Duncan Dunlop. What followed was a really enjoyable and insightful meeting. Duncan began by speaking about the history of WC?S and what we do as an organisation. Tony and Connor, 2 of our Care Experienced Ambassadors, then spoke about what it feels like to own your care identity and what led them to make that decision. This prompted the Alumni

Members to share some of their own experiences and talk about why now felt like the right time to claim their own care identity’s. For Lorraine, Laura and Chris, claiming their care identity’s came hand in hand with signing up as Alumni Members and they went on to reveal their hopes for what they could achieve in this role. We discussed ways in which the Alumni could get involved including – being active in social media, campaigning, writing a blog for our website, featuring in our Speakout magazine, volunteering at some of our events (festival, summer camp) helping us reach more potential Alumni Members, sharing

their own story publically or anonymously and peer mentoring. At Who Cares? Scotland we understand that although the Alumni are a collective, they are made up of individuals who will bring their own unique skillsets and interests to the project. All 3 of the Alumni Members were encouraged to tell us where they saw themselves fitting in. Both Chris and Lorraine expressed an interest in campaigning and speaking out for care experienced young people, whilst Laura thought she might want to share her story and speak directly to young people. We finished the first Alumni Gathering by getting Laura, Lorraine and Chris to

sign the pledge. The pledge is part of our [listen] [act] [unite] campaign which looks at how we can make Scotland a better place for care experienced young people by listening to you, acting with you and uniting behind you! All Alumni members will be asked to sign this and as a group decide on the speciﬁc action points of their pledge. It was an absolute pleasure to meet with Chris, Lorraine and Laura, and after this initial discussion I am extremely hopeful for what the Alumni will become. Look out for Alumni events coming to your local area!

Young People help East Ayrshire Council Recruit Over the last five years when East Ayrshire Children and Families Services have been looking for an individual/s to take up a role within their team they have invited East Ayrshire care experienced young people to carry out their own independent assessment of the candidates. More recently this process has been supported by Charity Telfer (Who Cares? Scotland’s East Ayrshire Young Person’s Worker) and young people aged between 10 and 17, living within children houses and in foster placements, have been involved in the recruitment process for roles including Residential Worker/s and Team Manager (Fostering and Adoption). Charity says: ‘Initially I support the young people to get together and consider the role East Ayrshire are looking to ﬁll - what will the individual/s be expected to do on a day-to-day basis and what qualities/skills will they need to have to successfully carry out these duties.’ You can see an example of some of the duties Stacey (13), Connor (12) and Julie (10), who took part in a recent recruitment process, thought a Service Manager - Corporate Parenting would be required to carry out and the qualities/skills they thought this person would need to possess.

Charity says: ‘I then assist the young people to consider how they think they can find out whether each candidate has these qualities/skills. On this occasion Stacey, Connor and Julie decided to interview each candidate and then bring the candidates together and ask them to join them in playing a game.’ Stacey says: ‘Interviewing the candidates one at a time was a good way to get to know them. We asked them to play a game so we could see how they joined in.’ You can see what each young person opted to ask the candidates, the successful candidate (Sharon Laing) being interviewed and everyone playing the group game. Charity says: ‘Once the young people have completed their assessment I invite them to write down their key comments on each candidate and also to award each candidate an overall score out of five, with a score of five representing the ideal candidate. These

W H O CA R E S? S COT LA N D

comments and scores are then considered alongside the views of the East Ayrshire representatives who also formally interview the candidates.’ East Ayrshire recognise the contribution of the young people with a gift voucher for a store of their choice. Jim Lyon (Acting Head of Service, Children, Families & Criminal Justice) says: ‘It is remarkable that the preferred choice of the young people almost always matches the choice of the interviewing panel. Our children and young people do a fantastic job and the candidates seem to really enjoy this part of the process, although some may initially ﬁnd it a little unnerving.’ Julie says: ‘I enjoyed being involved in the interviews because I go to ask my question and it was good to see the people and help decide who got the job.’ Connor says: ‘It’s a great experience for young people to be involved in the interviewing because these people are going to work with other children and we know what type of person will be best because we have experience of being in care.’ Stacey says: ‘I think it’s better if young people get involved with deciding who gets a job with social work (children and families) because we know better than anyone what we want from these people.’

We are the Champion s!

n March, Highland Council made the bold and exciting move to hire a brand new team of 9 care experienced young people to work as Highland’s very own Development Assistants! As young people with experience of the care system, the team will champion the voices of children and young people in Highland, and inﬂuence those who can make changes to the way services are provided. Brian, Who Cares? Scotland’s Director of Operations, had this to say “Highland Council have shown again what active corporate parenting involves. They listened to young people, then they acted, which is so important” This good practice will ultimately mean that young people across Highland who have been in care can feel more in control of their lives and have futures they will be proud of. SpeakOut chatted with Emma and Jemma who successfully applied for the job:

Regional Round Up CENTRAL – LAURIE There are quite a few groups now taking place in the National Ofﬁce in Glasgow; The last Tuesday of each month, sees the Forum group where young people come together to discuss issues that affect them, and every other month we have a fun group activity – in March we went go karting! We have also started a new drama club on a Wednesday. This group of young people will develop a short play about “transitions” to perform to an audience of professionals at this year’s SIRCC conference in June – it’s a great opportunity to show adults just how incredible and talented our young people are! In February we held a big

consultation about what would make the “Perfect Panel Member”. Lots of young people came together and gave their views and ideas, and Children’s Hearings Scotland were so impressed that they wanted us to make a ﬁlm about it! So all new panel members will now be informed of the views of WC?S young people before they begin their journey as a children’s panel member. Well done to all involved! In March we were asked by the Young Women’s Movement to ﬁnd young women to take part in a piece of research about being a young woman in Scotland today – and the researchers were so impressed that they asked

to put our discussion on STV news! Thanks to our superstars Ashley, Shilla, Kerry, Candice and Chloe for being involved. In South Lanarkshire the Young Voice group is a great opportunity for local young people to come together and discuss the issues that affect them. If you’re interested in joining this group, contact Julie Lynn on 07786068138. There is also a brand new group for young people who live in foster care, who meet monthly to have fun, hang out and make new friends! If you’d like to join this group, contact Michelle McAtear on 07787560471. In February Who Cares? Scotland and South Lanarkshire Council worked

in partnership with a group of young people to organise a Children’s Fun Day. It was held in the Ballerup Hall in East Kilbride and was attended by over 130 people. The event raised over £460 for Ronald McDonald House at Yorkhill Hospital. South Lanarkshire Council Family Placement Team and Who Cares? Scotland thank everyone who was involved; the young people and their carers who worked hard to arrange the event and helped out on the day; and everyone who attended and raised money for Yorkhill Hospital To ﬁnd out about all the groups and activities available in the central region, contact Laurie on 0141 226 4441.

NORTH – EUAN Following a highly successful test-run, Highland council will soon have its very own Champions Board. The Highland group is still going strong, meeting regularly in Inverness to discuss issues that affect young people in care. When we’re not changing the world we also go out for dinner together and play all types of games and activities. For more

The group meets every month to have fun, do creative stuff, have days out and meet new friends. Read our review of the trip to Arran on pg. 22. If you would like to find out more about this group please call Sheryl 07738 195692 or Denise 07932 101076. A similar group will hopefully be starting in East Ayrshire soon. This group is also based in our Kilmarnock office. If you fancy coming along and giving it a try please give our Young Persons’ Worker, Charity a call to find out more - 07985 089946. The Renfrewshire

Champions Board - It’s been a busy year for the Renfrewshire Champions’ Board; one of the areas that the young people chose to focus on was the Children’s Hearing system. Attending Hearings is a big issue for lots of young people and sadly the majority of the feedback from the group about their experiences of going to panels was fairly negative. Some obvious themes emerged from the discussions and the group felt very strongly that more should be done to make panels a more positive experience for young people. We arranged to take the group to meet some of Renfrewshire’s panel members to discuss their concerns. The meeting went

really well and the young people were able to put across their views. The panel members were really keen to hear about the young people’s perspective and take on board advice on how they might do things differently. The young people got to ask the panel members questions too which helped them to get a better understanding of the role of a panel member. One of the young people, Alice shared “I am really passionate about trying to improve the Children’s Hearing system so this was a great opportunity to engage with panel members directly. I did quite a lot of preparation for the session as I had lots of questions I wanted to ask them. At the

Champion’s Board you can give your opinion and people will listen.” It was an enjoyable and productive evening and we hope this is just the beginning of a positive working relationship between the Renfrewshire Champion’s Board and Renfrewshire Panel members. Please get in touch with Donald - 07712 865958, for information on the Champions Board. If you are interested in anything that’s going on in our region or have ideas about things we could be doing or even just fancy a chat about getting involved in any way, please phone me, Julie MacTaggart on 0141 226 4441.

EAST – RAY We are celebrating the longest running Champions Board in Dundee with a national presentation to the Together group where we identiﬁed how the Champions board meets the UNCRC! We are also starting new Champions Boards in Perth and Kinross, East Lothian and Mid Lothian. We have also helped young people train new panel members in Fife and have given presentations to East/

Mid Lothian and the Borders current panel members. We did a training session with the whole SSSC staff team including their Board of Directors! The East Team Trainee Assistant, Emma, took part in WC?S’s Membership Roadshow which visited Starley Hall School and saw Emma and Tony (Ambassador) share their stories and encourage the young people of Starley Hall to join the WC?S Family. Have you

joined yet? In Perth and Kinross they have produced a video for social work students and councillors on how young people feel being taken into care and their concerns for the future. If you would like to get more involved in your area, by helping at presentations or in any other way contact your local Young Persons Worker or Ray MacLean - 07787 560471.

What’s HOT &What’s NOT W

BOYHOOD

hen you first hear the title - Boyhood, it sounds like a coming-of-age film, but once you’ve sat down to watch it, you’ll realise it’s so much more. You’ll find yourself sucked into the story both emotionally and visually, which means it deserves bigger praise than plain old ‘that was no a bad movie’. Boyhood is the latest work from visionary director Richard Linklater, writer and director of previous greats such as the hugely criticallyacclaimed Dazed and Confused, which was released when I was just one year old and is also a fond favourite of mine. The film is centred around Mason, a fresh-faced, cheeky-looking lad from Texas, USA, who we watch over a period of 12 years as he grows from a five year old kid into young man about to start his first day at college. The thing that makes this film different from most is that it did actually take 12 years to film. The film also stars the great Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Great

Brad, 22

Expectations) and Patricia Arquette (True Romance, Boardwalk Empire). Arquette has won an Oscar for her role of playing the mother of Mason throughout the 12 year epic. This film is crammed full of relatable scenes and quotes, so much so, that I actually sat and watched it every night for almost a week. It’s one of the most endearingly human pieces of cinema I’ve seen in years. I think this is because when I was in foster care I got used to moving around a lot and different people coming in and out of my life, but Boyhood reminded me that this can happen to all sorts of families, and that you don’t necessarily need to be accommodated by the local authorities to experience the ups, downs and sideways of family life and this film stands testament to that. Despite some of the family turmoil shown, I liked the fact that throughout the film the family are still able to sit down together and enjoy the little moments in each other’s company that we all too often take for granted in a world where

quality-family-time is being replaced by TV dinners and let’s-sit-togetherand-gaze-at-our-phone-time. Whether it’s the carefree kid lying in the grass gazing at the blue Texas sky in the opening credits; the 11 year old Mason unwillingly having all his hair chopped-off or the 15 year old stoned Mason returning home from a night out driving with friends, there is a Mason for everyone to relate to. It’s a tear-jerker, a drama, a comedy and real life film all rolled into one. Everyone can relate to Boyhood. To miss this film is to deny yourself the opportunity of experiencing a film that hits you so hard you’ll sit through all the end credits in quiet reflection over what you’ve just seen. And that doesn’t happen very often!

10 OUT OF 10!

FRANKIE & BENNY’S

Would you eat here again/ recommend to a friend

n March, Michelle (Young Person’s Worker) along with nine young people and two Foster Carers visited Frankie & Benny’s in Hamilton for dinner. This was to thank the young people for all their hard work in helping to organise a Children’s Fun Day in South Lanarkshire. This is what the young people had to say about the Restaurant…

ATMOSPHERE 9/10

Everyone agreed that there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. There were candles lit on the tables and music playing.

CHOICE OF FOOD 8.5/10

There was a wide choice of food to suit everyone’s taste. One young person had a wrap whilst others choose pizza, pasta and lasagne. We all had pudding too!!!

YES!

WAITERS 9.5/10

Everyone liked our waiter. He was friendly, funny and helpful.

TOILETS 7.5/10

Although everyone found that the toilets were clean one young person found a spider in their cubicle!

VALUE FOR MONEY 9/10

Great value for money. We had two or three courses each from the specials menu and everyone agreed portion sizes were just right. W H O CA R E S? S COT LA N D

Getting to know…

Dan Portman D

an Portman, a 23 year old Glasgow born actor who stars as Podrick Payne in the award winning TV series – Game of Thrones. When Dan is not acting he volunteers for Kibble Education and Care Centre in Paisley – a centre that works with care experienced young people aged from 5 to 25. Since working with and learning more about care experienced young people, Dan has become an ambassador for Who Cares? Scotland, here he tells us why he has chosen to [unite] behind Scotland’s care experienced population. SO – So you volunteer at Kibble, what was your inspiration to do that? DP – I started helping out at Kibble because Gavin (who works at Kibble now), used to be my college lecturer and he asked me to but after my ﬁrst visit I realised there were a lot of young people who weren’t being properly represented in society and I just wanted to do anything I could to help them get their voices heard. SO – What did you think about care leavers before you did any work with them? DP – I didn’t really have any sort of idea about the care system or kids in care until I started helping out at Kibble, but since then I’ve learned a lot more about the boys and the girls there and what they’ve been through. There’s a lot of stigma attached to being a kid in care which isn’t fair.

SO – So if you had a message for Scotland about care experienced young people what would it be? DP – Please, please just start listening to them. People need to learn the truth about care experienced young people and the care system. SO – What advice would you give to drama students who are currently studying? DP – Get another job! Ha ha no, if it’s absolutely what you want to do then do it but if not I wouldn’t commit yourself to such an unstable way of earning. I’ve been incredibly lucky so far and it’s got nothing to do with how capable I am.

W H O CA R E S? S COT LA N D

SO – How should someone going for their first audition approach it? DP – Be nice! Be confident! Because when you go for a first audition, even if you don’t get the part, if you made an impression they will remember you and there’s always a chance you might get something down the line. Also be nice on your way up because you’re going to meet everyone again on your way back down!

SO – So for our last question, and probably one you get asked a lot, but what’s it like being in a smash hit TV programme like GOT? DP –When I ﬁrst started I was terriﬁed. I’d never worked on anything of that scale or standard before. Now it’s like we’re a big family. Everybody’s really nice and we have a laugh.

Thanks Dan . It to meet you was lovely , all the best fo the next se ason of Gam r e of Thrones. I’m sure we’ll a ll be watching! If there is so me like to get to one you’d kn email kmacm ow, either illan@ whocaressco tla to your YPW nd.org or speak and we’ll se e if SpeakOut can arrange an interview w ith them.

Silver Hair

NAY OR YAY? R

ight now there is a revolution in hair colour perception going on. The days when grey hair signalled old age and delayed trips to the hairdresser to get those locks topped up are gone as the Young A -Listers embrace the grey. With megastars like Rihanna, Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding and Kate Moss leading the charge this trend seems set to stick. What do we think? Is this look going to last? Or will it be like those two years at the turn of the decade when the whole world decided that because Rihanna looked drop dead gorgeous with red hair they would as well and promptly bought out the global supply of red hair dye before realising that A) They didn’t have a team of stylists to maintain that ultra-high

Day Trip to Arran !

BY LIAM, 11

yself and 10 other young people from South Ayrshire foster group went on a day trip to the island of Arran. There were 8 of us met the Who Cares workers, Sheryl, Julie and Alex at the ferry terminal in Ardrossan to travel on the boat. It was a lovely sunny day and we stood outside on the observation deck to watch the men untie the ferry, remove the gangway and we waved to everyone as we left the port. During the journey over we got to know each other, had yummy rolls for breakfast and drew some pictures. The journey wasn’t long – it took us just less than an hour to get there and it was really calm, only Mollie felt a bit sick! Luckily it was still really sunny when we arrived. We met up with 3 young people who live in Arran and we all introduced ourselves again.

The fun started with a treasure hunt along the sea front. The first clue was to find a wishing well where we all threw in a penny and made a wish. One of the girls was sure it worked as she had been before and had wished for more contact with her family and it had come true so we were all keen to try it out. We managed to work as a team to find all the clues and this took us along to a playpark where we played football, rounders, went on the beach and me and Alaini showed off some of our
