💬 "A big issue is [children] being sent to different places around the country, from Lewisham to Blackpool for example, away from everything & everyone they know."
Listen to our CEO @KatharineSJ on the impact of distant moves on children in care #GoneTooFar
The government wants to prevent companies that run children's homes in England from making excessive profits.
Katherine Sacks-Jones, CEO of care charity Become, tells #R4Today 'things have got worse' in children's social care.

On its 50th birthday , I was recognised/ awarded / acknowledged for my work with @battersea_arts and its wide community of artists and wonderful people .
I have been able to learn and do so many incredible things because of this building that has meant so much for so many. I felt touched , as some of my mentors/ friends were in the room! I am a product of other artists / producers who believed and saw something in me - heavens knows how and or why! I can admit I haven’t always been easy to work with. And that is a credit to their determination and motivation for me.I always think how lucky I was to meet these people who in a lot of ways were very different - but cared about me. Real people. With special jobs and magical ideas.
Thanks to everyone who decided to do that for me , the people who invested in me, and the artists whom I work with and champion @BACBeatboxAcad .
I still have the spirit of the kid from the council estate coming from @SouthThamesColl some days, coming to meet my mates , including @Gambit_Ace and do crazy stuff together . Shout outs to Marco from YPT RIP bro

Our magazine is solely written and solely edited by adults who were in care as children. This is our second issue. We hope you like it and will let us know, including any ideas for improvement.
To kick off National Care Leavers Week we are releasing our October magazine. This issue shares care leaver voices across all ages and experiences, to show that leaving care does not stop at 25. You can read it using the following link: issuu.com/careleaversconnect…

It is national care leavers week. @Rosie_Canning and Dee mitchell have compiled a list of contemporary care leavers in fiction. It's very impressive.

It's National Care Leavers Week.
A piece of advice I wish I'd had in care/as a care leaver is this: Know your rights.
The system can take a lot from us. But our rights should never be one of them.
