I had a beautiful piece of feedback this week that was v moving. It was how in the team they’ve noticed that feedback used to be received as criticism but since our work is now being received as reflection & supportive. & that there was a difference in energy & the feeling in the space.
Thanks to the 130 million people who made #AfterLife the most watched British comedy in the world. And thanks even more for always supporting people on here who open up about their own grief. Heartwarming ❤️

In 2018, @Jeremy_Hunt put in place a £6M strategy for children of alcoholics.
3 years later, the @DHSCgovuk abandoned its national strategy. All projects scrapped.
I am asking Mr Hunt for a meeting to restore support for the most vulnerable children. 💙

7. Don't look to politicians, the care industry, social work, charities or self appointed lobbyists to speak for you. They will not deliver - they never have. Ultimately, the care experienced population must speak for themselves. Looking at Parliament today, nobody else will.
Actress @samthesparrow says the current care system is still 'not fit for purpose'.
She is now supporting a campaign for all children in care to be in accommodation that provides supervision when they pass 16 until they get to 18.

Thread:
The Punishment of Rewards.
As many of you know, Barrowford Primary School is reward and sanction free.
There are many and varied reasons for this.

⭐️My fellow care experienced friends⭐️
Im doing research about language within & out of the care system & I’d be keen to hear from you about what acronyms/terminology/language you don’t like and why.
I’d also be keen to hear from foster carers and SW staff
RT’s appreciated
Now 910! Topics include TI children's services, TI schools, polyvagal theory in practice, TI parenting, TI adult services, research & policy, food as medicine, a library. Its bloody brilliant!
Feeling disheartened today, thanks to this morning’s committee children in the looked after system aged 16 and 17 will be denied care and legally placed in unregulated and unsafe accommodation. I am sorry and saddened that I was a lone voice but I will keep fighting for you all.
