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! #UofGGrad21 #GettingResults
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 Learn about support available ➡️fostercare.campaign.gov.scot @ScotGovFairer

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. ⬇️
🚨 #CEP community in Wales 🏴 I'm in Cardiff next week with the @BigIssue Roadshow from 12-14 May, and I'm urgently looking to speak to any care leavers who were part of the Basic Income Pilot for an article. If that's you, please DM me. I'm a care-experienced journalist. 👋
