We all know that. We all know that the potential ‘cost’ to family life of a lack of meaningful support can’t have a price put on it. The way in which this whole fiasco has been managed is so disrespectful and damaging to families and to providers of adoption support. Beggars belief.

If you factor in the effective loss of the specialist assessment ‘pot’ it’s a 60% reduction. I’d love to know how the government anticipate this will come close to meeting need. Here’s a clue … it won’t come close. Costs rising for providers, FAL slashed - make it make sense. @janetdaby.bsky.social

I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too? Still no answer to questions about when a decision will be made re #asgsf Families left without support. Providers in limbo from today.

As a mum, I have been hailed by professionals who know my 1st born as a model parent (he’s an all round achiever). And condemned by some who only know my 2nd (my AuDHDer). They are nurtured the same. My parenting isn’t great or bad- It’s standard. My kids have unique attributes, in body and mind!

Recently I’ve resembled a hazelnut, an autumn leaf and this morning a Victorian lady … I’ll leave it there…

I wrote something for ADCS about relational children's services. TLDR: relational institutions need both relational people and relational infrastructure for the people to work in. @jimbaggaley.bsky.social @jamestplunkett.bsky.social might be of interest

Had similar but with the house - ripped apart. All original character gone and lovely wooden floors covered in posh laminate. Upsetting to see. Glad I got cuttings from the garden

It’s time to bring back an old school Twitter classic.
It’s #FollowFriday! It would be great to build a big City community ahead of the return of the Premier League next weekend.
It’s simple. Repost this post and follow everyone who does. Start using the hashtag and follow anyone using it.
