@BurtonUttoxBlue been told today that Sustain+ (specialists in mental health for Adoption, Fostered and Kinship care children) based in Stafford is closing in March due to children’s mental health shuffle with CAMHS. Can I ask what will take their place? @ULTTSA @centre_trauma
I hear many say “2019 was the year when the public woke up to the climate crisis”.
This is a misconception.
A small but rapidly growing number of people have started to wake up to the climate crisis.
This has only just begun. We’re still only scratching the surface.
@BillFairfoull@GavinWilliamson There is no genuine commitment when any discussion about legislative reform is simgly ruled out by legislators. It is a broken system. It's more than austerity. The voices of ppl with lived experience need to be at the centre of policy reform not just consultation
@IsabelleTrowler @GavinWilliamson Great way to help would be to ensure that all schools get proper training in trauma awareness. Our kinship children are being seriously let down by mainstream education @KinshipCarersUk @ULTTSA
@BurtonUttoxBlue ? What does our new MP (who I understand must be extremely busy) think on the subject? Would you consider joining the cross parliamentary task force ? SGO holders in this constituency are struggling @GrahamBworth

How many children are going back into care from adoption & other permanence orders?
Why is this happening when adopters are prepared, rigorously assessed & matched with a child?
Please write to your MP NOW! We call for accurate data & a voice in reform
Some students are excited for break, while others keep asking if they can come to school anyways. Here’s a great resource to help support those kiddos throughout the season ❤️
Our kinship family party is this Saturday at Sunderland Mind Wellbeing Hub, Church Street East, Hendon, Sunderland SR1 2BB
For enquiries and tickets contact Mel on 07501191338 or email [email protected]
We are being supported by @LittleLearnerSR
@EastStaffLabour @ULTTSA @SGOcarers@KinshipCarersUk@CartersSquare We can sort something out for early on in the new year to discuss the matter further. Kinship care is at the heart of the community, but there is a stigma attached. It actually pulls families apart.
We are meeting for coffee, cake and a chat on Tuesday 11am Bear Uttoxeter. Hope you all can make it. We have a few things to share with you about trying to get our local schools more Trauma Informed.
See you there @ULTTSA @SGOcarers@KinshipCarersUk@CartersSquare
Teacher Tip:
Don't give a kid grief for needing a pen or pencil. Pick your battles. Too many people are already picking battles with our students. It's just a pen.
We're proud to introduce Sir James Munby as our new Patron. A powerful advocate for kinship carers, he says: "too often, support is inadequate. I'm delighted to be able to help and to add my voice to the growing call for more support for kinship families” https://t.co/hHMcOWvQGg
