To confirm Neither The Care Experienced Conference or Our Care Our Say made ANY comment or recommendation on who should chair the review. There was no discussion about this appointment on the event days or recommendations on who should chair the review in the reports. @HackneyChild @OYFtheBook

A sad thread by Article 39 about the care review & who was invited to the opening. I note a few care experienced individuals (not identified) but not those who campaigned so vigorously for a Review. Why did it take a request from Article 39 to identify who received invitations?

Good to see BASW Professional Social Work magazine join the growing list of organisations sharing The Care Experienced Conference Our Care Our Say reports #BeTheDifference scott p 🔥 #carereview ourcareoursay.wordpress.com/is-this-the-ti…

Good to see BASW drawing on messages from The Care Experienced Conference and Our Care Our Say to shape thinking about #carereview That’s what participants wanted Hope it will #BeTheDifference Josh MacAlister MP @IsabelleTrowler Department for Education 🌈Updates from ADCS National Children's Bureau basw.co.uk/resources/psw-…

Alison O'Sullivan BASW The Care Experienced Conference Our Care Our Say Josh MacAlister MP @IsabelleTrowler Department for Education 🌈Updates from ADCS National Children's Bureau I wholeheartedly agree. The ambition of The Care Experienced Conference & Our Care Our Say was to give a platform for the unfiltered views of a wide cross section of the care experienced community to be heard. Nobody representing them. Now gov't & the Review owe it to them to listen to their views

📣 Can those individuals who wish to attend Yusuf's virtual funeral service please send me a private message with your e-mail details so I am able to forward the link and access instructions.
