@UnitedUnique_ Looking forward to the Easter activities with our children & young people next week 😀

@MorriamJan @bbcwm @jake4shaw @brumlibdems @bbcmtd @HusnaAnjum1992 @birmingham_live Thank you @MorriamJan for continuing to support @joinbhamtrust care leavers

At our corporate parent meeting today I met a amazing care leaver with a amazing singing voice who has released her single November 2023, I am proud and it shows care leavers can achieve even with the barriers they face daily. BBC Radio you need to interview and play her song

What happens when we reread this article from a trauma informed perspective? When my young people describe how their trauma affects how they interact & work with others it often looks like ‘not engaging’ #trauma theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…

In my ideal society, libraries would be well-funded and open in the evenings. It would be culturally normal to skip the pub and gather at the public library after work to chat about books and play board games.

Ofsted uploaded inspection reports for 13 children’s homes yesterday. Six homes were judged inadequate or to require improvement, or are subject to special measures because of safeguarding concerns. This home in Worcestershire is run by the private company Cove Care.

Join @JimGoddard1 for our regular social zoom this Wed 15th Nov 7-9pm. Its an open session so bring along any topic you want to discuss. Meet other care leavers and get support from the group. Sign up careleavers.com/webinar-contac…

David Cameron lobbied to get Greensill loans from the Taxpayer. They were paying him £1m a year for 25 days of ‘work’. Less than a year after securing more than £5bn from the taxpayer they went bankrupt. But not before Cameron sold his shares and made another £7m.

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ("taking back control from unelected officials anyone?") in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.

Giving evidence in Parliament today, @_juniorsmart explained to MPs how the Cost of Living crisis is putting more children at risk of criminal exploitation by county lines gangs.

@JRB225 @Bhamchildtrust @mkershaw_uk @s28oph Brilliant work ❤️

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight. Please take just two seconds to show you care.
