Oh how the tables turn! When I was 16, I came home to a letter on the kitchen table from my foster carer. It said I had four days to find somewhere else to live. Today, the book in which I write about this experience is pictured here on my own kitchen table. And it is OUT TODAY.
I was pleased to be invited, by the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care (@CELCIStweets), to write a review of 'Free Loaves on Friday', edited by Rebekah Pierre (@RebekahPierre92). My review of this important book has just been published, here: celcis.org/application/fi…
An honour to be one of 100 authors in #FreeLoavesOnFridays 📚 #caresystem #careexperienced #lookedafterchildren #fostercare #residentialcare
Truly delighted with this review of Free Loaves on Fridays, by the inimitable @JimGoddard1 With 100 authors and a no-rejection policy, this book really could have been an editorial nightmare. But it turned out inspired. Open access. Link below:

Today is the last day of National Care Leavers Week. We're here to help you defend your rights each and every day. #NCLW
This week's #ThrowbackThursday is in celebration of #NCLW 🙌 We're looking back at June's podcast episode exploring Free Loaves on Fridays, an anthology of stories, poems, letters & reflections by care experienced people. Listen now 🔗 shows.acast.com/lets-talk-soci…
This week marks National Care Leavers' Week #NCLW, aimed to raise awareness of the issues in the care system. Free Loaves on Fridays is a powerful anthology of stories, reflections and letters by care-experienced people. Available now. unbound.com/books/free-loa…
It's National Care Leavers Week. A piece of advice I wish I'd had in care/as a care leaver is this: Know your rights. The system can take a lot from us. But our rights should never be one of them. See what support you/someone you care about could be entitled to here: #NCLW
#NationalCareLeaversWeek starts today. We give our solidarity and support all year round. Our rights4children resource on leaving care is consistently in the top 3 used each year. Here it is: rights4children.org.uk/leaving-care/ #NCLW
Ahead of National Care Leavers Week, here's a timely reminder that care leavers see through tokenistic PR opportunities: "You look at Ministers ... it’s ‘let me have a photo with this care experienced person’, they move on & change roles..." Proud to be 1 of 15 contributors⬇️
New paper led by @DrKatieEllis based on interviews with 15 prominent care experienced activists regarding their activism to achieve change in care systems. Thank you to all the participants for their insights. Available: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Care leavers between the ages of 18 and 22 might be interested in this (if you are younger than 18, you'll have to wait). Many care leavers may not know that they have a Child Trust Fund and are now eligible to access the money in it. Martyn Lewis explains how:
Pls share with anyone its relevant to A warning to those age 22 or under. You may have £2,000 in a Child Trust Fund. You can access it for free. Yet some firms are trying to charge you to get your own money. Don’t pay. Watch this instead…
Feels dystopian that this even needs saying. It would be unthinkable in modern day Britain to discuss the need to ‘ban smacking’ against any other demographic. That this is still up for debate shows how little society respects children. We need a cultural shift, urgently.
Ban smacking in England now, says children’s commissioner theguardian.com/news/2024/oct/…
