This announcement is being widely welcomed & whilst it is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t go far enough. No child should be placed in unregulated accommodation. We must ensure that ALL homes for children are safe & provide proper support & care https://t.co/BrGJXhfLRG

This is a completely inappropriate letter to be sending to a child who is in the care of the local authority.
Is it any wonder that many children with care experience have such a dim view of their corporate parents?
Shameful...
I’m watching my train leave in 5 mins and I’m not on it because I apparently didn’t arrive early enough for staff to get the ramp.
I’m late because the bus I was on let everyone (20+ people -full bus) off before deploying the ramp for me.
Everyone on that bus made their train.
'This review must listen to children with lived experience of the care system and adults who have once lived within the system' @samtrner tells Matthew Wright live on @talkRADIO'
Deeply concerned to hear that once again children and young people are being placed in illegal accommodation such as caravans & tents. Our CEO @KatharineSJ will be on @LBC around 7.50 this morning sharing why a review of the #caresystem has never been more crucial.
I was supported until the age of 21... Although there has been development more needs to be done non-estranged family have life-time support. Why do we have to endure the trauma of being cut out again?
