At 13 I went into care. At 16 I was kicked out of care & went back to an unstable situation. At 18 I studied law at uni. At 25 I was called to the Bar. At 26 I secured Pupillage. In interviews, I took pride in who I am & where I come from. It’s what formed the advocate within me.

10 yrs ago I left teaching to set up Frontline | children's charity to get thousands more children access to a great social worker and to build a network of leaders for change. Special to see so many staff, supporters, alumni and care leavers at the 10 yr anniversary who’ve made it a reality!

A truly inspiring day with The Care Leaders. So much experience and insight in one room! Really excited about our partnership, and the strength that comes from bringing together diverse perspectives.

Already looking forward to this! A great opportunity to recognise and celebrate social work and young people supported by social workers. Who would you nominate? Time to start thinking before nominations open in January...

Being a Care Leader isn’t defined by your background, it can be a professional, someone with lived experience or both. What connects Care Leaders is the mission is to work shoulder to shoulder, to do good things, with good people, for good causes. #Iamacareleader

I’d like to respectfully challenge. Manchester have already made Care Experience a Protected Characteristic. Their response to this was weak, with a nameless representative saying ‘they’d look into it’. Surely if it was any other PC we’d take legal action & stop using them?

The Tope Project created these Christmas dinners, not Lemn. It’s not about Lemn’s ‘movement’, it’s a memoir to someone we lost. Tope was a human who sadly took their own life because the loneliness they experienced at Christmas. Remember and honour Tope.
