The government’s proposal to narrow access to university by imposing needless #MinimumEntryRequirements is bad for social justice, bad for education, bad for levelling up and bad for the economy. I wrote this back in November @wonkhe wonkhe.com/blogs/minimum-…

Why does all support and stuff for care leavers stop at 25 latest? At 25 we’re just thinking about that to do and starting to find our feet. we’re also recovering, not only the trauma of why we were in care but from the trauma of the care system itself. #dontstopat25

#ItsOurCare A really great day of events and meetings where important ideas and views have been shared by care experienced children directly to Govt. Good to see politicians and officials in listening mode, but we all know we need to get things done childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/2022/06/22/its…

Yesterday was one of the most amazing experiences I’ll ever have. It was an honour to be one of the 4 care experienced people who represented the #itsourcare campaign at a round table. After a day where MPs had let us down, it was refreshing to be in a room with people who

Separately to parliament haha, if anyone wants to support care experienced young people who are doing something amazing, please book to see this show. Without this organisation I don’t know where I’d be and redemption is a show that hits so close to home for many CEP’s 💕

Moments like this are what I live for… The dog’s sleeping next to me, we have good music on and after a day of travelling from Manchester, I’ve come back to a house that me and my partner have worked hard to make a home💕 Cant wait for 2023, whatever it brings.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… These young people need help and care, not to be locked away and contained in makeshift “homes” under a Dolo. Secures need to nurture and care, not lock away in rooms. Gov need to act now to stop this happening. Thanks for sharing Chris Wild Angela Frazer-Wicks MBE

ALERT: London Film Festival delegates: please watch your personal items in/out of the BFI building. On #LFF opening night at BFI Southbank, a delegate bag including expensive equipment was stolen from Benugo Riverside bar. In-house security response was shockingly poor. Pls RT!!

Today data we gathered with Tom Wall on the use of unregistered homes for children in care has been published. It shows that more than 700 children were placed in unregistered accommodation, at a cost of more than £100m, and 2 in 3 children living there are under 16. 1/4

These are children we know nothing about. The number of children living in unregistered accommodation has increased by 277% in the last three years. It is extremely worrying that our most vulnerable children are living in places without any independent oversight. 2/4
