Great to meet @JoshMacAlister at #Lab25 in his new role of Minister for Children & Families, to talk about @BecomeCharity priorities. A great start to conference this year!

Today @CommonsEd publishes our report on Children’s Social Care

Current outcomes for care leavers are unacceptable & that has to change

Our recommendations seek to improve the care children receive & we call for a National Offer for care leavers:

📺 We're back on the sofa this morning!

Tune into @BBCBreakfast at 8:15 to watch Lamar, a care-experienced young person we campaign with, & our Chief Exec Katharine Sacks-Jones, talk about the @CommonsEd's new report on children's social care.

[Clare Bracey @clare_bracey]

Children in care being uprooted midway through their studies has devastating life-long consequences. It's not good enough. All children should have a fair chance - show your support by sharing @BecomeCharity new report

[Become @BecomeCharity]

Our new research shows the shocking disruption children in care face during crucial exam years.

Every child needs stability when it matters most. Let's give all children a fair chance.

"Comments by a Reform councillor in Cambridgeshire that children in care are 'evil' are unacceptable. Children in care shouldn't have to hear this. It's discrimination and needs to be challenged." - @KatharineSJ, our Chief Exec.

📣 Noticed something new? We are becoming louder and more determined for change.

📍 There are almost 18,000 children in care living 20+ miles away from the people and places that matter to them. Young campaigners from our Gone Too Far campaign asked the public how they would feel if they had to suddenly move away from their home. Here's what they said.

We very much welcome this report and that the voices of care-experienced young people we work with, alongside @barnardos, have impacted the Committee's response to the Bill. Well done Lamar, Georgia, Louise and Jake 👏

[Become @BecomeCharity]

More than 1 in 5 children in care in England are placed over 20 miles from home – some as far as 500 miles. That's #GoneTooFar.
Children should be kept close to the people and places that matter to them 💜 Can you help us reach 10,000 signatures? https://t.co/vzao0rN3YQ

It's #CareDay! I'm celebrating all the brilliant young people I get to work with @Become1992 who use their voice to make the care system better 💜📣⭐️

Care Day 2025 is Friday 21 February! Our theme is 'Voices that Care'. Get involved by:
1. Writing ‘I Care’ on the palm of your hand.
2. Taking a selfie to share on social media & explaining how you care in the caption 💜

Together, we can make the care system better #CareDay
