#MothersDay2025 Not all mothers can be with their children. For many, Mother’s Day can be a challenge. Kristy, a member of Family Rights Group’s parent’s panel, tells her story. Read her blog here: ow.ly/q9LY50VqpWN #MothersDay #AllMothers

We are creating a new tool to measure what makes a good quality of life for adoptees aged 16-25, based on what adoptees themselves think is important. If you want to take part in a focus group for adoptees aged 16-25, you can sign up here: forms.gle/x1Mi993Dihpg...

Hey 👋 Our first words on @bsky.app go to Salma, a care experienced young woman in London, who explains how our Lifelong Links approach has made a difference for her and for other young people in the care system. #BuildNotBreak

Today’s annual children in the care system stats show there are around 83,630 children looked after in England, a 0.5% fall over the last year. The % of those children in kinship foster care with relatives or friends continues to rise - now 16.3%. But this remains much lower than in other nations

Remember when Eastenders had a pre-birth family group conference for Lily and Ricky’s baby Charli? Not a bad attempt to include FGC. And if Eastenders can do it in 2023, it would be great to see ALL local authorities offering #familygroupconference in 2025! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr8F...
