To shamelessly ask if you were a Care Experienced Leaver

[WhoDa]

and moved placements a teenager, what would have made things easier for you? NC for this but naice ham, Sistene screamer etc. Have what could be a LT placement starting tomorrow and shamelessly posting for traffic from those wit-lived experience.

That's a really good point @theshoepeople when you think about it like that

Luke Rodgers talks very movingly about his experiences and one of the things he said that really stuck with me is about sharing information. Often foster carers get quite a lot of information about the child or young person who is coming to live with them but the child gets very little about the people they're going to live with. I wonder if you could prepare some information they could have in advance about you, your family, pet, house and where you live?

Hi, we have a 17 year old who is living with our family. Social worker is suggesting assisted living rather than fostering. Does anyone have any experience of this and how funding works. She is attending college but understandably needs more attention and care than our own 17 year old.
