This week marks #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek As a mother who experienced children's services involvement while pregnant with my second child, I know all too well how scary and confusing the whole process was and the lasting impact it had on my mental health
Thank you to PCFSW Network for inviting me to speak today. The warm welcome & lovely feedback was humbling. Sharing my story is never easy - but knowing that it will help make a difference for children & families who are in need now makes it more than worth it! #familiesvoices
Honoured to hear Fatima Whitbread speak today. The way she tells her story with grace humility and humour blew me away. The way she uses her own experiences to advocate for change for children in care is beyond inspiring. Today will stay with me forever
Delighted to be speaking at PCFSW Network meeting today about the importance of listening to children and families - both during and after proceedings #familiesvoices #listennotlabel
Many thanks to Fostering Families Magazine for taking the time to interview me. I talk about my journey, the trauma that led to the loss of my children and how Family Rights Group and my amazing fellow panel members
helped me find myself again #familiesvoices

I left my husband in charge of our daughter's #WorldBookDay costume this year π€¦π»ββοΈ For once I'm speechless! π #jurassicpark #thosepoorteachers
Sharing to mark #WorldPoetryDay2024 This was written for my baby boy who celebrated his 21st birthday yesterday. He was 14months old when we said goodbye. I still hope one day he will feel ready to reach out π©΅

Postman delivered a cardboard tube - I assumed my kid had ordered another poster for her room. Turned out to be a signed scroll from the King ππ± and a letter welcoming me to the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire!! #mylifegetsmorebonkersbytheday
Today I turned 49. As I never planned to see 29 there's plenty to celebrate. I've not taken one day of the last 20 years for granted. My life is filled with love, laughter, joy, & the most amazing people. It's not always been easy but I'm so thankful I made it! π #lastyearof40s
