Very pleased to have contributed to this report alongside @LenaDSmith for @CLASS_Cymru. Download the report and summary here: business.senedd.wales//mgIss…
NEW REPORT!
We have published our report on radical reform for care experienced children and young people.
We are calling for 12 radical reforms and we make 27 recommendations in total.
Full report: ow.ly/UEgO50Ov9MC
Summary report: ow.ly/h9sA50Ovb7z
It certainly doesn't make for comfortable reading, but @SeneddChildren have really brought home why radical reform in our care system is long overdue.

50% of social workers are agency?
A quarter of care leavers homeless at 18??
A quarter of care leavers have a child removed???
I am not sure how we can communicate the urgency and severity of the problems here...

A pretty damming report from @whatworksCSC report on emotional wellbeing support by #LocalAuthorities for care leavers.
Glad to be talking to @NLCBF today to help rectify this and to share our work on the +ve impact of safe housing which must be a key pillar of support

Great piece in @WalesOnline featuring @llantwit of @CardiffUCU ✊
'It is staggering hypocrisy, and it has made us really angry and only strengthened the resolve among members.'
Withdraw the deductions now.

The @aps_ou conference was the first I presented at post-PhD, with @mckenziesd when I was working in Professional Services in the Widening Participation team. Great to see it going from strength to strength!
