Here’s an exhortation to anyone who works with children & young ppl - or with adults who may be care experienced - to read this book, Free Loaves on Fridays, edited by Rebekah Pierre Rebekah Pierre Paediatricians go get a copy and read it!

Such an inclusive book that has included the voices of so many children and adults who grew up in care. We as a society and as professionals need to do better for these young people.

And as a children’s doctor who works to be child centred, I have found in this book some ideas for improvements I can make in my approach to children in need or in care, their parents, and parents who are care experienced themselves.

🎩 firmly tipped to every single young person receiving results today. Along with next years’ 11s your entry to senior school was massively disrupted and you have lived inside chronic disaster ever since. To even get to this day is a massive achievement

Delighted to announce that I am featured at Berwick Literary Festival on Sunday 13th October alongside Nicola Lewis and Rebekah Pierre to discuss Free Loaves On Fridays! View the full programme and buy tickets: berwickliteraryfestival.com/2024-festival/

Had to give this a double take. Expecting penniless and traumatised 16/17 year olds to pay for the cost of being in care is heartless and, to be honest, pathetic. How about local authorities start asking those on six figure salaries to contribute instead?
