To mark the Scottish Children’s Parliament’s 21st birthday they have created an inspiring and brave band of Unfearties. The word came from Edwin Morgan’s poem. They are calling on us to be ‘unfearties’.

In April this year we ran a Mind of my own proof of concept trial across two community (‘care and protection’) teams in Auckland, at the request of the new ministry, Oranga Tamariki.

We are very proud to announce that our latest app, Express, has been shortlisted for a CYP Now Award 2017.

Sitting in New Zealand, planning our co-production workshops with a range of young people and workers, it seems apposite to share some of our experiences of working as a remote team.

Hunter joined us to lead on customer support and Natalie started as our new sales manager. Both Hunter and Natalie left good jobs in the digital and business sectors in order to work in tech for good.

The more we implement our apps the clearer it becomes that care leavers and care councils must be at the heart of your Mind Of My Own implementation.
