@vickyford Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Frontline have been working tirelessly to safeguard the children from the pandemic. The addendum policy I wrote this week for my team was solely to compensate for the additional vulnerabilities the legislative changes have created.
@MattHGraham And very little about residential care for c&yp despite other types of risk being incredibly high, made worse by “lock-down” &knowing adult and children’s services are both relying on the same agency staff & the team’s risk of burn-out increasing as more go into self-isolation.
Reading the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse #IICSA#westminster report (very briefly!) made me lose a bit of hope and feel like I’m lying to the #cic that “people can be trusted”. #shame on everyone who exploited a child/YP directly or indirectly by being “tolerant”.
Reflecting on the headteacher in Kent who openly declares his school will no longer admit kids living in care settings. Discriminating against a bunch of kids based solely on their care status.Stigmatising & discriminating against care experienced children continues. @careexpconf
Does your fostering service or residential care home want to get involved in a fantastic media opportunity with a commissioned show on CBBC? They want to speak to services and young people about to leave care. If do, email [email protected] to find out more
It would be wonderful to see lots of tweets showing support for our campaign and the children and young people we campaign consistently for. Please donate a tweet saying - Every Child Leaving Care Matters #ECLCM
With your help we can reach a wider audience. Thank you!
