This week is #KinshipCareWeek, an opportunity to shine a light on the vital role of #KinshipCarers & the difference they make to the lives of children ❤️

Throughout the week, we'll be spotlighting our evidence on support for kinship carers, as well as the gaps in what we know 🔎

Does anyone route for the faithful? Or do most people route for the traitors? I’m curious?

NEW BLOG ✍ @nimaljude.bsky.social, Head of Practice Development on how our new Evidence into Practice call for local areas goes beyond delivering a programme – it is a chance to collaborate to build a culture of evidence use in services for children & families: foundations.org.uk/evidence-int...

A Foundations branded quote card, which reads: “At the heart of our Evidence into Practice offer is support of up to £100k for each of the nine local authority Partner Places – one in each region of England – to implement approaches and interventions from the Foundations Toolkit that we know make a genuine difference to the lives of children and families.” The quote is attributed to Nimal Jude, Head of Practice Development at Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families. The card also features a head and shoulders image of Nimal. Nimal has light-brown skin and dark-brown, shoulder-length curly hair. She is wearing a bright coral lipstick, and silver earrings.

NEW BLOG ✍ @nimaljude.bsky.social, Head of Foundations' new Practice Development Team, introduces the latest Practice Guide on #MentoringandBefriending, outlining the positive benefits of proven support for #CareExperienced children & young people: foundations.org.uk/building-the...

A quote card with the following copy: "Care-experienced children and young people often miss the chance to form sustained bonds with adults and peers. Mentoring and befriending programmes that match these young people with trusted adults and peers are one way to help them to build consistent relationships, and to support them to grow in confidence, overcome challenges and realise their hopes for the future." The card also features a head and shoulders image of Foundations' Head of Practice Development, Nimal Jude. Nimal has light-brown skin and dark-brown, shoulder-length curly hair. She is wearing a bright coral lipstick, and silver earrings.
