@jotoddjt It was fabulous - our young people stole the show. I think our young man is on his way to being a famous comedian already!

Such a great conversation - relationships are key, as is learning from others. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together #SharedLearning

This is why 'care experienced' should be a protected characteristic. And this reminds me why it is so important for me to continue to guide the community to understanding that those in and leaving care are children and young people first

[Chris Wild @ccwild79]

I once disclosed to an old work colleague I was in a children's home at 11, because my dad died and my family fell apart. He told the rest or the team to watch their belongings around me! Discrimination. There's millions more from care experienced people all over the country.

@dom_luscombe @NorfolkCC @PhilWatsonNCC It's been a pleasure to work with #IMPOWER and with you @dom_luscombe, I'm looking forward to an interesting year ahead!
