On #InternationalMensDay - a shout out to all those working with, caring for and raising brilliant boys. Helping them to express their feelings, to be vulnerable, to dream big, to respect women, to respect themselves.
You are helping to make a generation of wonderful men. THANKS

Will never get over what a privilege it is to be the one adult a child chooses to trust and talk to , it is a more precious gift than money can buy 🥰🥰#Mockingbirdfamily @HCCFosterAdopt @SSHerts1 @thejoolsnewman

[Jools Newman @thejoolsnewman]

@zaklouis @SSHerts1 Absolutely agree @zaklouis , it’s an absolute privilege to be able to foster, we take these children/YP into our homes & our hearts. Not easy at times but the best job in the world. Well done on what you do. #workforHcc #family #fosterwayoflife

Thank you to all delegates at #ncasc20 for the warm welcome & lively Q&A session today. Every one of you has made heroic efforts to keep children safe and on track.

Thank you all for making sure children’s social care remains open, helping children at this challenging time.

And we need swift Home Office decision making

[🌈Updates from ADCS @ADCStweets]

.@JennyColesDCS shares her fictional elevator pitch with with Chancellor. Echoes other participants, we need funding to cover actual costs and funding that's sustainable, we need to be able to plan to know where we are #NCASC20

@AquilaPipp1e @Wriggles10 @SSHerts1 @HCCFosterAdopt @fosteringnet It really is @AquilaPipp1e, they are my extended family. I have been challenged, pushed, pulled, liked, hated, depended on, confided in & so much more. It’s been an emotional roller coaster of a ride which I’m not ready to get off anytime soon !!!

[Jools Newman @thejoolsnewman]

I love being part of an award winning model, for me, Mockingbird is as much about helping maintain placement stability/support to Children as it is about helping retain/support foster carers. 😍@Wriggles10 @SSHerts1 @HCCFosterAdopt #dreamjob #Mockingbirdwayoflife @fosteringnet

I have mentioned it before but good to put it out there if anyone who follows me might be thinking of #Fostering @HCCFosterAdopt are Fab , their whole focus is on looking for better ways to support carers and kids, they are not perfect but man, they try hard. @SSHerts1

[Herts PCI @HertsPCI]

[Jools Newman @thejoolsnewman]

Fostering....... whether it’s dominoes, UNO, frustration or Monopoly, all so much fun & the joy a child gets from learning a new game is so satisfying. @Wriggles10 @HCCFosterAdopt @SSHerts1 @JoMerry8 #fosterwayoflife

[Jools Newman @thejoolsnewman]

@Wriggles10 @HCCFosterAdopt @SSHerts1 You know it @Wriggles10 😢😢

[Wriggles10💙💙🌺🌼🌻 @Wriggles10]

@thejoolsnewman @HCCFosterAdopt @SSHerts1 Yep ,and doing all this knowing that at some stage they may well move on from your care ,you may not get to see them again and they will absolutely break your 💕💕

[Jools Newman @thejoolsnewman]

Being a foster Carer is not simply looking after a child, its loving them, teaching them, protecting them, enforcing boundaries whilst sometimes getting absolutely nothing back but with the hope that we do make a difference. @Wriggles10 @HCCFosterAdopt @SSHerts1 #fosterwithherts
