Thanks so much to @UofGlasgow for letting my share my student journey and celebrate graduating! My 16 year old self dreamed of this and now it is a reality. There really is #nowrongpath and I would encourage other estranged students to find out what support is available to them

We're so proud of everyone who has graduated during such a difficult year.
Student @Sam__Gracee was forced to leave her family home at 16 years old but she was determined to go to university. Now she is graduating from UofG ♥️ Well done Sam!

We had a fantastic day attending @ThePromiseScot Learning event in Perth themed around People. We presented our Renfrewshire Promise Keeper network, sharing learning with colleagues from across Scotland on how we can get non-children’s services colleagues to consider The Promise

It's my day off. I'm on my way to Glasgow. But that didn't stop me from writing a reactionary op-ed for @BigIssue this morning after a Reform councillor referred to some children in care as “not just naughty children... but downright evil.”
Read my take below. ⬇️

I usually cringe when I see ads for foster carers.
They have a bad habit of focussing on the financial aspects, portray care experienced kids in a one-dimensional way, or worse.
Not this one.
It’s rare to see them done well. Really appreciated this

Foster carers play an essential role in helping shape positive futures for children across Scotland 💟
If you can provide stability and care, you can provide the loving foster home a child needs

If that's you, please DM me. I'm a care-experienced journalist. 👋

With Mother’s Day approaching, for those of us who are Care Experienced, Estranged, Beareaved or have strained motherly relationships, I always appreciate emails like this one from SpaceNK. A quick way to opt out of emails is perfect and makes this time of year much easier♥️
