Empowering children in care to own their stories forever

Storyteller is a place where content can be collated and curated for, with and by children in care. Anyone important to the child can upload images, record video and audio clips, plus add text messages for a child to own forever.

About the Storyteller App for children in care

Children in care can often be looked after by different people throughout their childhood, so as they grow older they may find it difficult to form and retain strong memories, which can be detrimental to their mental health, self-confidence and sense of identity.

The app will benefit children in care by:

  • supporting therapeutic life story work
  • capturing moments from their life for their care record
  • helping the child or young person to convey their wishes and feelings
  • preparing them during transitions, such as moving to a new home
  • helping them, and the adult they become, to claim their own story and narrative.

Storyteller by The Vision

Join Carly, a dedicated social worker, and Demi, a voice of experience, as they unveil the transformative benefits of the Storyteller platform, which offers organisations the tools to foster connection, resilience, and healing in young lives.

An inspiring and practical talk designed for Local Authorities and Children’s Services providers, focusing on how to empower children in care to take ownership of their stories. This session delves into the transformative potential of storytelling as a tool to build confidence, resilience, and self-identity among young people in care. We’ll explore innovative approaches, including the use of digital tools and creative methodologies, to help children articulate their experiences in ways that feel authentic and meaningful. Drawing on insights from the Storyteller for Children in Care project, this talk will highlight real-world applications and success stories, while offering practical guidance for integrating storytelling initiatives into your care provision.

This session is ideal for anyone involved in children’s services, including social workers, foster carers, education providers, and policy makers. Let’s reimagine the way we support children in care by empowering them to take control of their narrative and envision a brighter future.
