1/ A REMINDER TO ALL POLITICAL LEADERS: Taking children from the care of their parents is the most serious way the state imposes itself on individual lives. The impact of the decision, for good or ill, will be life long. If we are to use the law in this way, then the state’s…

I miss Ian so much, his voice his wisdom and how bloody funny her was. But my goodness, its astonishing what he did for the Care Experienced Community. You can read it here: https://t.co/Jq9LhSLfYb

@lemnsissay Maybe because we are truly interdependent as human beings. Expecting and striving for independence can be so isolating, dangerous on so many levels. You struck a chord again @lemnsissay 🙏

‘Heartbreaking’: private care homes accused of failing UK children due to closures. This is what happens when children are treated as commodities for trade. This cruelty is built into the system, it was always going to happen 🤬 #systemchange https://t.co/EKexUnit9c

[Robyn Kemp @redkemp65]

@_LisaCherry Thank you Lisa - I doubt this thread was easy to write either ♥️ reflective prep time - using learning from reflections, experiences (whether my own or someone else’s), ethics & theory to help navigate the day - helps me a load & when I don’t … I risk or do what you describe 😔

[Robyn Kemp @redkemp65]

Basic humanity seems absent - U.K. social work and care need social pedagogy - a coherent ethical and theory based framework for policy, education and practice. #care #learningdisability #socialpedagogy #socialwork #socialcare #humanity ⁦@sppa_uk⁩ https://t.co/RMV2qhb8mN

When you:
*can't stay home in the day,
*walk for want of the bus fare,
*live far from older kids' school but can't afford to take baby home between drop off and pick up.

Your buggy becomes a life support system.

But mamas on £8 or £35 a week, can't afford them.

Please help.
