Are you a ‘Difficult’ Carer? - Speak Up for Children. Get Labelled. Get Targeted.
This week Sarah and Louise are talking about ‘difficult’ foster carers, the ones who ask awkward questions, challenge decisions and dare to advocate for children. But what happens when speaking up gets you labelled ‘difficult’? And why does that word carry rather more weight than it might appear?
We also look at the latest free school meals controversy, ask uncomfortable questions about how foster carers are represented, and explore what happens when the reality of fostering looks very different from the glossy version presented to prospective carers.
Plus, there’s the usual mix of fostering news, questionable sector language, and a trip to the Naughty Step for those who really should know better.
