Great to be in beautiful #Pembrokeshire, preparing for the #StepUpStepDown launch tomorrow. This project will be delivered as a partnership between The Fostering Network & PembrokeshireCC to support families on the edge of care, so that more children can stay at home safely 😊

Our CEO Sarah Thomas kicks off the launch, explaining her experience when she was first invited Step Up Step Down in Northern Ireland. 🗣️ ‘The environment and room was so nurturing, and non-judgemental - I was determined we would introduce this in Wales’. 💖

Great to see Step Up Step Down being launched by The Fostering Network at Picton Castle yesterday. Pembrokeshire are the first local authority in the Welsh pilot, aiming to provide more support to families to keep children out of the care system.

This is a great experience for all #CareExperienced aspiring journalists. Please do pass on @Become1992 Chris Wild Terry Galloway Coram Voice
