I found myself tired of me
'I surrender' I said 'I give in'
Then a whisper said & quietly
'the only way out is within'

For some children, their older brother or sister is also the person raising them 👪

Jody-Lee is raising her younger brother and she has a message to share about her family and what she would like people to know about sibling carers and #KinshipCare 🌟

#SiblingsDay

Very much look forward to reading this ❤️

legalaid.tas.gov.au/wp-content/upl… very practical application of the #LundyModel for Independent Children’s Lawyers in Tasmania.

A priority long read for anyone that wants Scotland to be the best place for children to grow up ❤️As a parent this made my heart sore, as an activist this makes me angry, as a professional I’m determined to do all I can to keep speaking up for our children ❤️ #keepthepromise

❤️❤️❤️

Great opportunity here; #keepingthepromise #codesign #meaningfulparticipation ❤️

Sending so much love to all ❤️It’s always been a tricky day for me, but I feel the healing power of time makes these days a little easier. Big shout out to all of those who support folk who have been through care, going through care etc. To those who step in, thank you! ❤️

Happy International Women's Day!

'The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist [...] but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.' - Gloria Steinem.

As we stand up for children's rights, we support human rights too.

May we know them
May we raise them
May we be them

Just to clarify! There are lots of examples of tools capturing impact on children & adults involved in participation. Less in relation to the actual changes in policy and practice that occur after children involved particularly by policy makers. That’s what I’m looking for😊

Really important question for policy and practice. What happens when we take children seriously?

Today, the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill has passed Stage 1 considerations of the Scottish Parliament. Read more about what this means for work to #KeepThePromise in Scotland in this blog from Independent Strategic Advisor, Fiona Duncan:
