Loved the challenge today from Siân Williams from Switchback to think ‘one person at a time,’ to look at the details of care experienced young people’s lives - often the small stuff is the barrier to the big stuff…
Morning well spent with Hannah McCowen from National Care Leaving Benchmark Forum.
As orgs, we both actively champion our young people sharing their voices. Interestingly, we see care leavers face the same social issues regionally & nationally.
We can do more together 🤝

Care-experienced young people tell us that accessing timely, appropriate mental health support is one of the biggest challenges they face.
Thank you Hannah McCowen for highlighting the need for a mental health strategy in this insightful blog post for the The Alliance for Children in Care & Care Leavers.
