The term "challenging behaviour" can place a lot of negative emphasis on the child & masks a deeper understanding. Some pupils are carrying the weight of challenging circumstances, trauma, neglect A little understanding & kindness can make all the difference. 🧠🌱

The difference a year makes. In 2023, I was stuck in an unsafe supported living placement—unheard & unsupported. I left in November, became homeless, & spent months fighting to be listened to. By 2024, with the right support, I started to heal. Now, in 2025, I’m in my own flat, healthier, and finally thriving. This is what happens when care leavers don’t get the support they need—and what happens when they finally do. We deserve to be heard before we reach crisis point. #CareExperienced #CareLeaver #FosterCareReforr #Homelessness #HealingJourney

Watch this. Well done Middlesborough and Teeside for organising The Christmas Dinner (for care leavers) on Christmas Day in Eaglescliffe. @TcdTeesside @waitrose @JohnLewisRetail youtube.com/watch?v=MPlhSj…
