@KirkbrideHannah Yet another inequality for care leavers to face. Almost certainly it was their LA who decided where they should live, so why then punish them for living there #ECLCM @rescareto21

[Ruth Diver @ruth_diver]

@EdNixon2 @ResCareTo21 @KirkbrideHannah Support for care leavers shouldn’t stop at local authority lines. Housing, financial help, and wider support must follow the young person, not stay tied to where they were in care. Mobility shouldn’t mean losing your safety net.

[Hannah Kirkbride @KirkbrideHannah]

Want to have your say on #CouncilTax and support for care leavers? Did you know that if a young person settles outside their original local authority where they were in care that they may be refused exemption of council tax?

Children in care and care leavers need more support. They are NOT hard to reach. I find that many services are harder to reach!

For so long, many children care experienced + those in the penal system. These young people had @Ofstednews come to them to listen. Credit to all including the catalyst that is @CareerMattersUK who made this possible. Kudos to Ofsted for coming - now wait for outcome #ECLCM

[Hannah Kirkbride @KirkbrideHannah]

It was a privilege for the team @CareerMattersUK to support @Ofstednews research team for the Big Listen. I know that the #careexperienced young people in the prison who were involved also appreciated meeting HMCI and the team!

[CareLeaversMatter @CareMatter]

@jane_quinlan No problem. It has been shared across a number of stakeholders. What a fantastic opportunity for them!

[Jane Quinlan @jane_quinlan]

Are you a high-achieving student 💡 who has been in local council care, is planning to go to university 🧑‍🎓, and leaves everything to the last minute? Great news!
