Active and some say crazy. Double hip replacement, partial knee = bionic🙂

@ScotGovFM @scotgov @JohnSwinney Whole family support includes supporting those in care yet Scottish Government did not increase the Scottish Recommended Allowances for Foster and Kinship care this year - this needs to be a guaranteed annual uplift as the cost of raising children goes up year on year.

Gosh been missing off here for a while, missed anything good🤣

@scottishwater please do some driver training, I cannot get in my car!

[Sara Smith @Saramsmithx]

@ThatsTVScotland @RozMccall Yes it is all too slow, I would ask where is the money going? Why is there no guidance as to how organisations implement the Promise? The children we foster carers look after are being impacted, we need progress

#UNCRCScotland has received Royal Assent and is now officially the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024!

The substantive parts come into force 6 months from today (unless @scotgov commences early)

We all need help in times of change 🫶
Over its 2 years, our Moving On project listened to many stories from our care community about change.
We then worked with @BrawTalent to create 3 short videos following Freya, as she experiences a big change. 🧡✨

[The Fostering Network in Scotland @tfn_scot]

Part 2 of Freya's journey zooms in on the thoughts of one of her foster carers. We wanted to focus on foster carers as we know transitions are often difficult for foster carers & their children. 🫶

Which of Maggie's thoughts stands out to you most?🧡

Siblings have a right to live together when they aren’t able to stay at home with their family - these relationships are vital to a young person's sense of belonging.

A report has made recommendations to ensure that siblings in care stay connected.

[Jacqueline Cassidy @JacqCassidy]

@tfn_scot have been pleased to be able to contribute to this report and to continue to make the case that siblings should be supported to stay together and where they can't, to have their relationships supported so they can remain connected.

[Sara Smith @Saramsmithx]

@Beth_Shelt @tfn_scot How fantastic you have been leading this project, so pleased you are staying with us, though a little sad you are moving teams☺️👏👏🎉
