I really like this and find it thankfully reassuring.@ClaireNoden1 .
Went to a great leadership session tonight with Stanley McChrystal, who wrote “Team of Teams”. He said leaders should “delegate until it hurts”: delegate until it feels uncomfortable, then delegate some more, then support/take responsibility for those taking the delegated actions

8 months as a Foster Carer. When I was a CLA nurse I wanted to be a foster carer & had ideas of how It would be. It’s been very humbling.

It’s about poverty . It’s hard to build better childhood experience if your worried about food warmth and somewhere to live @Dusty18580426 @andyknoxmusic @RishiSunak another contribution to mental pandemic
Sure Start was in my thoughts along with training like Solihull, Baby Brain and Brazelten and all the great stuff @Rebeccacalvert6 is delivering.However over worked Social works are unable to deliver .

Reflecting last 8 months as foster carer of 2 children. Systems set out to help, make it hard to provide what a child needs to thrive. Lots of box ticking . Social workers only crisis manage.Conclusion Early Support for families, prevention! @maureenhudd @Rebeccacalvert6 @nicask
