So I have just been offered a place on the Children’s Commissioner Care Experienced Advisory Board for England. It’s time to speak up for those children under the care of the local authority!
Children in care deserve safe, loving homes. My research found 669 children living in illegal, unregistered placements costing councils estimated £353m/year. This Times investigation underlines the failure. We must do better; regional commissioning is key.

1 in 4 people have had suicidal thoughts but you might not see that reflected in your feed on #WorldMentalHealthDay.

Boys Don’t Talk.
Not because they don’t want to — but because no one’s listening.
This campaign is their voice, their lifeline. A chance to be heard before the streets do.
Every day, boys in our care system are groomed, exploited, and pulled into gangs — not because they’re bad, but because they’ve been forgotten.
We’re here to change that.
By raising awareness, we’re not just opening doors to education and employment — we’re fighting for futures.
Because silence shouldn’t be a death sentence.
It’s time to listen. It’s time to act.
