I wanted much more from the launch of “independent review for children’s social care’ in England. The dispatch has been duly noted by interested parties such as the multi million pound business The Fostering Network but I wanted the launch to be much louder. Do you hear me? MUCH LOUDER.
Unlike the Independent Care Review in Scotland launched by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon the English equivalent was announced on Friday by Secretary of State for education Gavin Williamson. Have we missed a golden opportunity to Marcus Rashford this “once in a generation” independent review for children’s social care? The statement on a Friday, so we could all have a weekend to forget about it, had all the fanfare of tumbleweed on the main street of a deserted town.
There is good news though. Josh MacAlister (33) is heading the independent review of children’s social care. “This is a once in a generation opportunity and if we get it right we will be able to set out a future plan which can better guarantee safety, stability and love for children growing up in England” – Josh McAlister

You total fraud. Last week you were criticising the review.
You’re an entertainer and no one in the CEP Community listens to you. Bored of you being the voice of care community bored bored bored seeing you…
Chris. I speak for myself. Please don’t assume I speak for anyone but myself.
Ella Fitzgerald once said “I am never bored because I am never boring”.
Thanks Lemn for your balanced, and humane comments here.
There are many illuminating voices and I’m grateful for all of them. Your voice is irreplaceable. Please post more often
There are many Leila. You are right. Thankyou.
Thanks Lemn. As you say, we’re being asked so let’s embrace the opportunity to answer on how to improve experiences, outlooks and outcomes for children and young people who are in care / leaving care. Therefore, I’ve shared my advice, registered for updates and started the process of encouraging my network to do the same. All the best, Paul
Cheers Paul.
