To everyone feeling anxious, Lockdown easing may not bring you much comfort. You may be dreading social interactions and worried about the virus spreading. We just wanted to tell you, how you're feeling is valid. Take things at your own pace and talk to someone you trust.

Hi everyone, Its Sarah here, I thought I’d let you know a few of the subjects I’m going to cover in my new videos, and ask you what subjects you want discussed in future, what do you want said, what would you like to hear about or what would you like to know more about?
Thanks for all the messages we get and congrats to all the new members this week 🎉 So great to have you, especially as I know what we can deliver to help you feel more supported than ever before, more protected and more respected.
5. Why do so many carers still live in fear of advocating for their children or being able to raise issues?
4. Allegations: Much talked about but not enough change, we need to protect our children but if over 80% of allegations are unfounded, so many children get moved unnecessarily and good carers lost then something is going very wrong.
2. Holidays/respite and short breaks, the significance and importance of these as an inherent part of what we do and the impact on our children. 3. Why are carers often ‘invisible’ when it comes to valuable input and insight into the lives of the children in their care 24/7?
Lets get it all out there and get our voices heard 🔊 1. The latest landmark ruling on our contracts/agreements, the impact, and the way forward. What’s really useful for us and what's not.
Why is Tandem support so unique? Have a listen to our founder Sarah Anderson to find out fb.watch/56BX0uLOXK/ #workingtogether #fostercarer #carers #adoption #onevoice

Watch Jenny’s story This is a powerful story of triumph over adversity and we are so proud to say that Jenny is part of the Tandem team. If you think we are just another support service, think again. Join at tandemservices.org/join-us Email: [email protected]
Here at Tandem we are carers. We are on the frontline with our children and believe that every single child should be guaranteed care up to the age of 18. Please join us and my team in standing up for our children in this policy decision. secure.togethertrust.org.uk/uk-government-…
So true
We all struggle from time to time, and that’s okay.
We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Karl Pizzey to the position of Tandem’s new General Manager. Apart from having an impressive CV for the role, Karl and his wife Helen are foster carers, specialising in babies and children with additional needs.
#fostering #fosterparent #carereview #foster
Let's keep the conversation going. 29% of carers deregister within 2 years of fostering. It’s now vital for us to retain carers in order to stabilise placements for our most vulnerable children. If you've de-registered we'd love to know your experience, get in touch or comment.
