Children's Council
The Children's Council is a group of 10 kids ages nine to 18 who are dedicated to helping make SickKids a better place for kids. Nominated by hospital staff, the Children's Council members represent various units within the hospital.
The Children's Council serves the hospital in four distinct ways:
Advisory - we provide advice to the hospital and act as a resource to staff regarding projects and planning.
Advocacy - we act as advocates for children's health.
Innovation - we propose changes aimed at improving health for children and families at the hospital.
Leadership - we provide leadership and guidance for family-centred initiatives at the hospital and the community. We act as role models and consultants for issues related to family-centred care.
