IT’S PUBLICATION WEEK!
Most people think of the care system as something distant; a safety net which exists for the good of others, but that would never impact their loved ones.
If that’s you, dear reader, then you’re the intended audience for Free Loaves on Fridays (1/6)
Sean Geoghegan retweeted
Care-experienced people are bursting with creativity, but often denied access to the arts. That's why it was a #1 priority that CEP had ownership of the cover for #FreeLoavesonFridays.
Abi's cover is bright, hopeful & defies the usual stereotypes of care in such a powerful way🙏

This is very upsetting
Tragedy as man found dead inside abandoned children's home where he grew up - Birmingham Live. R.I.P.Andrew Reece. Yes, that homeless man, care leaver, brother had a name. It’s added tragically to the chronicle of #careleavers who die prematurely. #ECLCM birminghammail.co.uk/black-c…

Two weeks till publication day.
Free Loaves on Fridays is the book I wish I saw on bookshelves when I was in care. And the book I wish my teachers, classmates & the general public read, too.

Many of us have been working with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to improve access to care records for care leavers. This survey is an important chance to tell the ICO about your experience, so they can help improve guidance and practice:

After two years in the making, Free Loaves on Fridays has made it to the warehouse!
To know future generations of children/adults from care will see themselves represented in mainstream bookshops means everything.

Spending on privately-owned children's homes is bankrupting councils, accounting for £363m of additional spending last year

Its time the media professionals and trainers upped their game - so those with care experience can see ourselves represented, reflected back as we truly are.

For far too long, care experienced people have been subject to other people’s words in meetings, reports & care files.
The exception has been the odd feedback form, where our words are shoehorned in.
This #CareDay you can support us to share our own words on our own terms by /1

Happy #CareDay24 !
People brought up in care can provide a positive role in society, we are not stereotypes, we are real people who have survived an experience and only want the next generation to have a better chance in life

There’s no one face of someone who’s spent time in foster care, just like there’s no one face of the legal profession (or any other career). This #CareDay24 I want to challenge assumptions of both and celebrate how different life experiences enrich us all. Happy Care Day 😘
