@SarahJAnderson But this is real, the sad and true reality for some children in care- rather than the superficial happiness often portrayed in foster care. #ifnotnowwhen 🥲
They told us there was no money for our children and young people. Yet....
This isn’t just about one political party. It’s a reflection of a larger systemic issue.

“Sarah, founder of FosterWiki, said, ‘It was an unforgettable, uplifting, and empowering day. Receiving national recognition for our work supporting foster carers and the children they care for was a profound honour.’ Amazing 👏 #fosterWiki
@SarahJAnderson@reallorraine Lorraine.
This lady is putting together something that will change children's lives with our #bearforce.
The next children's and young adults, mental health and well being revolution is on it's way!
Whistleblowing can trigger allegations against foster carers. Without proper protections, rights, or status, carers are left vulnerable. It is crucial for foster carers to take care of themselves and join the union #nupfc.
Unbelivable day at #womenoftheyear70
I have no words to describe the sheer inspiration, energy & passion in that room.
Honoured to be there, even more humbled to be runner up in @reallorraine Trailblazer category.
Just WOW!
For all the foster carers and children ❤️
Heading to London today for something amazing today, hard to believe it’s happening!
More photos later on.
A significant moment of positive recognition for our work.

@philsharrock Only 7% of foster children pass GCSE’s compared to 40% non looked after, care leavers comprise 25% of the homeless, 24% of the prison population and over 40% of care leavers are NEET. Disgraceful figures - not changed for years, too many making money out of the misery to change..

If you read one thing today....
A wonderfully funny look at something I think we can all relate to, social workers, anyone in children's services, including of course foster carers.
