Name speaks for itself - voting on the name for the new forum!

If you're not keen on either name, vote 'something else' and if you have your own idea, feel free to share it as a response to this post. What we decide doesn't have to be permanent, either. :)

All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    Might need a couple of votes to break a tie on this one!

    Looks like it is going to be Care Experienced Zone unless anything drastically changes.

    Think it should be self care tips if it’s about that

    @Durhamjaide it's an area dedicated for people who have been in care - so foster care, adoption, kinship care etc

    If it's a tie-break, I think the users who are care-experienced should have the final say on the name :grin:
    Agreed @Aidan. :) Looks like we're still tied, so that feels like a good plan!

    @Alex, @Anch0r33 (or any other care-experienced folks!) - what's your verdict?

    @Mike Liam and I were talking (feels right to involve him as it's his area too!) And we were both in favour of Care Experienced Zone. 

    @Alex and anyone else, happy to hear your opinions too!

    Nice! Thanks @Anch0r33 - didn't tag @Liam because he was away at the time, but I appreciate you checking in privately. More inclusive the decision, the better!

    It sounds like 'zone' is clinching it, so let's go with that.

    We'll work on this and have it up and running soon. Watch this space! You guys have been super patient while we've been working through this - aware it's taken a good while. :3
