A child in care being sent by a council to live in another part of the country in a caravan far away from anyone he knows.
What an terrible indictment of our care system.

"A family justice system that removes the fourth, fifth or sixth child from families without doing anything about the reasons for removal is a failing system"

New blog
Too often the care system breaks relationships leaving children in care isolated. @FamilyRightsGp designed Lifelong Links (LL) to turn that around. Now councils can apply to @educationgovuk £s to implement LL (by 25 Aug). Interested? Get in touch

📺: Family group conferences have arrived on Albert Square!

Tune in to @bbceastenders on @BBCTwo to see the Slaters and the Brannings come together to support Lily through her pregnancy...

This is a brilliant piece on #communitypower from the @CoopParty: “giving everyone a meaningful say… because power & inequality & outcomes are inextricably linked”.

Also includes great rebuttal of Big Society, for sceptics who love to conflate the two… https://t.co/gIbeV3sdBJ

👵📺 Tonight a special report by @itvnews shared the story of a grandmother fighting for the right to contact with her grandchildren after their adoption.

She had reached out to children's services for help. Instead, her grandchildren were split up and taken away.

New research by @FoundationsWW shows that family group conferences help children remain safely with their families.

We are calling on the Government to heed these findings and introduce a new right to FGCs before a child is removed. 👇

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

Rather than 'make the case' for working relationally in public services, why can't we simply trust that it really only makes sense to work that way? We're not meant to be a series of soulless transactions. We're social relational beings. Surely that's enough evidence of 'impact'?

[Community Catalysts @CommCats]

Narrow definitions of 'social care' restricting to 'time & task' & 'personal care' create perceptions of limited support. People say there is deficit when we see abundance. Our @angelacommcats explores what's going on through the story of Mavis & Meena👇
