Relationships, Roots, and the Reality of the Care System

In this episode, I talk about why relationships matter so deeply in care and how one consistent adult can change everything.

I share reflections on Michelle, the foster carer who gave me stability, belief, and strong foundations, and George, my Independent Reviewing Officer, who truly listened, remembered what I said, and made me feel seen (and loved my cakes).

Alongside my own story, I explore why children go into care, the realities behind the statistics, and why numbers only matter when we remember the children behind them.
