IT’S PUBLICATION WEEK!
Most people think of the care system as something distant; a safety net which exists for the good of others, but that would never impact their loved ones.
If that’s you, dear reader, then you’re the intended audience for Free Loaves on Fridays (1/6)
Care-experienced people are bursting with creativity, but often denied access to the arts. That's why it was a #1 priority that CEP had ownership of the cover for #FreeLoavesonFridays.
Abi's cover is bright, hopeful & defies the usual stereotypes of care in such a powerful way🙏
Two weeks till publication day.
Free Loaves on Fridays is the book I wish I saw on bookshelves when I was in care. And the book I wish my teachers, classmates & the general public read, too.

Many of us have been working with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to improve access to care records for care leavers. This survey is an important chance to tell the ICO about your experience, so they can help improve guidance and practice:
