Just got back from another walk and now time to chill before @VoicesFromCare quiz tonight. This weather is lush but blinking heck it's hot.🚶‍♀️🥵

[Christian Kerr @SWConcern]

Totally agree with all points in this thread. The parallels with social work reform are striking. The interconnectedness of education and social care reform is barely explored, yet they have numerous key players and relationships in common.

[Evey @Eveysofia2]

Imogen, 9 from Newport asks, 'I am really sad that I can’t go back to school and see my friends or teacher because I have to be in the hub. I am missing them all and don’t think it’s fair on me that I can't go in Why?' #AskKirsty

[Fiona Duncan @fionathepromise]

The #CareReview listened to what care experienced people said must change & produced a radical blueprint for how our country should love, nurture and cherish its children. It also made a promise to our children that words would become actions.

[The Promise Scotland @ThePromiseScot]

On 5th Feb the #CareReview published its conclusions & made a promise to children & families in & on the edges of the ‘care system’. It wouldn't have got there without the thousands who shared experiences to shape its conclusions. The #CareReview formally closes on 30th June

I was gutted when I heard @ChisomoPhiri96 was leaving wales. We need to do better to keep our top talent... more than just #mentoring

This is why I think maximising children’s time in school is so vital.

[Manon Jones Foundation @ManonFoundation]

It’s time for a paradigm shift.We have got to move away from not ill enough, not thin enough, not sad enough because, sometimes, there is no way back 💔 That’s too high a price to pay I know. We can be radical here in Wales, let’s seize the moment for every child and young person

[Abbie Wightwick @AbbieWightwick]

We need a national plan for education says ⁦@childcomwales⁩ https://t.co/nOQRQVxR9m

[Lynne Neagle @lynne_neagle]

Exactly this - let’s stop making children fit into the services - the services should fit around them.

[Duncan Dunlop @duncdunlop]

Go on you know you want to.

Reported rises in children going into care homes is deeply concerning. We have to do more to support children and families through this pandemic or the consequences will be devastating

[Marco Antonio Gil-Cervantes @MarcoGilCer]

As we see much faith and want for a better, equal, environmentally friendly, world being demanded by young people, let's follow #YouthWorkWales #YouthWorkWeek

[Remembering Ian Dickson @IDickson258]

@YouthWorkerBish I'd settle for them being able to meet the spirit & letter of all child care legislation & recommendations brought in since the 50's. That would at least be a start.

[Keith Bishop @YouthWorkerBish]

What would the care system look like if local authorities ACTUALLY behaved like parents? Like, as if they were your own child? 🤔

[Voices from Care Cymru @VoicesFromCare]

We love this so much!! Beautiful poem Seb. After a long day this has made me feel very peaceful, so thank you. Also I ❤ bugs too!

[Voices from Care Cymru @VoicesFromCare]

We fully support the themes from @childcomwales 'No Wrong Door'.

Some very important message from young people on the confusion, playing the waiting game and not knowing where to turn.

All demonstrating why we need to prioritise young people's mental health & wellbeing.

We review the coronavirus regulations in Wales every 3 weeks based on the latest scientific evidence.

Many have asked about the process behind this, so we've put together a series of behind the scenes videos to go out over the course of this week to show how decisions are made👇
