The panel is made up young people who are in, or who have recently left care. There are also adults on the panel, including councillors and people who work for the council.

The panel gives feedback to social services about how they can improve support for young people in care.

The panel discusses the issues that affect them and creates a yearly plan of things they want to do to improve the lives of looked after children and young people.

The panel works with the council and others to achieve the things in the plan.

The panel is encouraged to set the agenda for meetings and the yearly action plan.

The panel meets approximately every two months, usually from 5pm to 7pm.

The Young People's Panel meets at Luton Town Hall, usually in Committee Room 3.
