Wow, this is huge! Moving children in care with their belongings in bin bags is now illegal in Maryland (yes I realise how horrific it is in 2024 to have to say this) If you want free luggage in the UK get in touch with @CasesComfort#ThisIsNotASuitcase
Children do not put themselves in care. Some are born into a dysfunctional world full of trauma, neglect, and abuse. You lose a parent to cancer, mental health, or addiction. Decisions you have no control of, then you face a lifetime of discrimination because of circumstances.
Children in care and care leavers will identify with the trauma responses, the fear of trust, and the impact of their circumstances on their future. Many dig deep to fight and rise. Many lose the battle. Many need help and cannot access it. @dele_official Inspiring. Brave. Needed
@GaryLineker@dele_official Brave and inspiring. Asking for help is the bravest decision, owning your journey no matter how difficult or painful, talking about your trauma so publicly - You do you @dele_official - wishing you all the best #notmyshame
@takethat this is my sister. A recently graduated #juniordoctor after 15 years of training. On the train on way home from #hydepark last night, a woman went into cardiac arrest and she saved her life on the platform at #stpancras. She’s always been my hero - #neverforget
There is such an important story to tell here, the horrors of which need to be turned into a positive voice for the benefit of change and learning.

At 13 I went into care. At 16 I was kicked out of care & went back to an unstable situation. At 18 I studied law at uni. At 25 I was called to the Bar. At 26 I secured Pupillage. In interviews, I took pride in who I am & where I come from. It’s what formed the advocate within me.
@TNLComFund thank you for the incredible support from @TNLUK and everybody involved for supporting children entering the care system with dignity love and hope #nomorebinbags
