Hi Folks - I'm moving over to Bluesky - find me at @EASprecher there.
I had the privilege of giving a keynote at #UKPTS2025 last week - so proud to represent the voices of care-experienced people who have generously contributed to this work + discuss why providing children in care access to the best evidenced assessment + support is vital. @UKPTS

If you're thinking of how to spread joy a little through these winter months there's no better way than donating to @GoldFSF and their Christmas Dinner for care leavers. Warm feelings guaranteed.
It's #GivingTuesday and here at @GoldFSF we believe in the power of community. This December, let's come together and bring joy to young care leavers. Let's remind them that they are not alone, and give them a Christmas to remember.

As we again have a Labour government, I thought it would be good to review what the last Labour governments (1997-2010) did regarding children in care and care leavers. After that, we will have the usual general chat. If you are a care leaver of any age you are most welcome:
Sign up to @JimGoddard1’s month zoom session tomorrow 6th November between 8-10pm. Sign up here: careleavers.com/webinar-cont…
