I wanted to share some personal news, I’m having a baby! ☺️ I will be finishing work for parental leave Friday 15th of December & will be handing the reigns over to
@jafhussain20 until next Oct/Nov. Please contact Jaffer for any enquiries for TCS services across the North ☺️
Hello! 👋🏻 And just like that, my parental leave is over and as of Tuesday this week I returned back to work as Head of Youth Practice for our services across the North at TCS! ☺️ I’ve received such a warm welcome from so many colleagues (in person and virtually)…
Yesterday was such a lovely afternoon seeing so many wonderful and talented people from across all our TCS teams! It was my last day in the office yesterday too before my parental leave started so it’s all starting to feel very real!

Always a pleasure and a privilege to be invited to guest lecture MA Social Work students at @LJMU. I always come away from these lectures feeling excited about the students potential from their engagement in the session and this afternoon was no different!
Starting the week attending the #YCFutures2023 conference in Manchester with @ChildSocInclude. Excited to be in a room with so many others who care deeply and are so passionate about young carers!

Earlier today I co-hosted a roundtable with @CarersTrust to discuss how we can better identify and support young carers in education. I'm incredibly grateful to the young carers who shared their stories with us and provided vital challenge around what needs to change. (1/2)
🧵Today @childrensociety & @CarersTrust are excited to mark the start of a new academic year by encouraging schools to take on a #YoungCarersChallenge that will improve the education and life chances of hundreds of thousands of young people across the UK. 1/4

Today was spent out of the office with the wonderful national @ChildSocInclude team. We took the opportunity to reflect as a team on the rich variety of activity undertaken, highlighted key learning and considered how this informs our future young carers work! 1/2
