Come and join us to learn more about the Cardiff Christmas Dinner and help us raise some funds! There will be a performance from @voicesfromcare choir, and plenty of tasty treats and fun activities. Get into the festive spirit *and* support local care experienced young people.

How much power do parents really have in the school exclusion process? Using Arnstein's ladder of participation, this #OpenAccess study by @JemmaBridgeman explores the barriers and opportunities parents face. Read here: doi.org/10.1080/001319… #EdChat #SchoolExclusions

Thanks as well to @CASCADEresearch for supporting (ie paying for) me to attend and present - much appreciated!

Really enjoyed the @iycc2024 International Young Carers Conference. Interesting research and practice, new ideas but ongoing challenges. Plus plenty of young carer voices to make it real.

What a truly incredibly powerful and fitting way to finish the @iycc2024 with a message from the young carers and young adult carers to the world. All put together by them in just 2 days (See comment for part 2) #Awareness #Support #Choice

"Caring for someone is a fantastic thing, up to a point. We need help before we reach that point!" Powerful words from Inge, #youngcarers from the Netherland. Great way to start the conference #iycc2024

...then presenting on Wednesday on working with young carers as a marginalised group and the challenges of recruiting through schools

Arrived in Manchester for the 4th International Young Carers Conference @iycc2024. Excited to be running a workshop tomorrow on a model of the whole #youngcarer spectrum...

The 4th International Young Carers Conference starts tomorrow @ManMetUni with our dedicated day for 40 young adult carers from around the world! Then on 10&11 April we host the main conference for 250 delegates. We welcome all of you to the wonderful city of Manchester! #IYCC2024

Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty. Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.

A few days ago but very much enjoyed @exchangewales Annual Adoption Lecture on Wednesday. Laura Machin from Lancaster University presenting on adopter mental health and the need to improve support.

First day back. Been quiet on the social media front but working away on a few different adoption and fostering papers, plus one on young carers.

@JemmaBridgeman @HelenDorothyM Slow for slow reply, heard about the project but not seen this. Thanks for passing it on :)

@HelenDorothyM @HelenDorothyM, this looks really interesting. @EdJanesResearch have you seen this?
