@kinshipcharity @drlucypeake @CommonsEd Well done to everyone involved here.
@kinshipcharity @CommonsEd @WalkerWorcester @vickyford @Anna_Firth @ALewerMBE @YasinForBedford @Caroline_Ansell @NickFletcherMP Huge thanks for the opportunity to give evidence today and for all your interest in well-supported kinship care.
Honoured to give evidence @CommonsEd today👇
Earlier today, Kinship's Chief Executive @drlucypeake gave evidence to @CommonsEd as part of their children's social care inquiry, supporting MPs to understand more about #KinshipCare and current Government action. Here are our top 🔟 highlights from the session... 📺🧵
@ASGLB0116 @AdoptionUK @EmilyFrith @CommonsEd @YasinForBedford I’d watch it all for context. @kinshipcharity 🙌 got to say articulated wonderfully. One other bit of interest is siblings and a change in acknowledgment of severing family and facing nothing in adulthood….. didn’t go far enough but good point
This week, we continued our inquiry into children's social care. Lucy Peake, CEO at @kinshipcharity, explains how the current system has financially impacted care workers 👇
@drlucypeake outstanding work on highlighting the support that children living in Kinship Care so desperately need @UKParliament @kinshipcharity
@EmmaLewellBuck @ChildoftheNort1 @itvtynetees Important issues.🙏 There’d be many more without Kinship carers @kinshipcharity We need support to help keep the children out of the care system in within families where the children’s outcomes are better, we can be part of the solution if we’re supported properly.
@kinshipcharity @Sharon_Kinship @Kinship_FIH Thank you for sharing!

Huge congratulations to @alistrathern MP for Mid Bedfordshire, for his nomination for the Constituency MP of the Year Award! Run by @PagefieldLondon, the awards aim to celebrate MPs who have "put their constituents first."
Lovely creative launch of @ChildrensComm’s #BigAmbition: voices of her Ambassadors, live music, speeches from @bphillipsonMP (including on need to address child poverty) @WalkerWorcester and @munirawilson who called for financial allowances and other support for kinship carers
Children are passionate about making change - but only 1 in 5 feel like those in power listen. I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/one-milli…
