We're working with a group of people some of whom want to use their #livedexperience & become peer mentors. They asked if there were any specific training courses to go on or qualifications they might be able to get. Any tips? @ExpertCitizens @owenbaily1982 @AmandaJHailes

I understand why some care leavers don’t want to be publicly known as a care leaver and I respect that. I only shared I was a care leaver through my music as it was natural to the concept of my first project.. and I was 24 when I wrote it.

Black or White (2014) is all about kinship care.

7 year old Eloise has been raised by her (white) maternal grandparents since her mother died in childbirth. Now her grandmother has died in a car accident and her other (black) grandmother wants custody.
