EPIC is a brand that is dedicated to championing the rights of care-experienced children and young people. Their mission is to ensure that the voices of these individuals inform the policy and practice that affects their lives, working towards a society where every child in the care system is valued, respected, and heard. Empowerment, a rights-based approach, inclusivity, and ambition are the core values that guide EPIC's work.

EPIC offers a range of services to fulfill their mission. They provide a National Advocacy Service for children and young people in state care, as well as young people aged 18-26 with care experience. Their research and policy work raises awareness of the issues affecting care-experienced individuals and provides an evidence base informed by their lived experience.

EPIC's engagement and participation initiatives include a National Youth Council, composed of young people with care experience, that informs the organization's decisions and campaigns for transformative change in the care system.
