Foster Carer Kim Flack
It seems that more articles are coming out about too many care leavers leaving the system unprepared for adult life. In today's episode, Kim talks about her experience of being excluded from decision-making about her young person's education. The young person in question was achieving academically; both Kim and the school agreed that, with support and encouragement, she could do well in her GCSEs and go on to the college of her choice. This was all jeopardised by decisions made by new, inexperienced social workers who believed they were doing the right thing by undermining Kim's parenting.
We talk about how it feels to be undermined and how easy it is for a placement which is going well to be jeopardised by a change of social worker.
