I listened to Amol Rajan's 'Radical' podcast with this woman. I'm clearly very ignorant about how Fostering works in the UK and I didn't realise there were so many, perhaps, solvable problems with it. The most interesting point she made was the hugely detrimental effect dependence on screens has had, now over several generations. She mad e lots of other excellent points too. Please listen to it and see if there is anything you can sign/put you opinion behind, to get this appalling situation sorted out. Thank you

I heard that in the week and ended up having a look through her insta. Felt very grateful for my just slightly crap upbringing.
