This is a big one that gets on our nerves... and this week, we're continuing with our second episode of fostering/adoption and heading into the complexities of special guardianship.
It's a system designed to provide stability for children in care, but one that comes with its own set of challenges.

Today, we discuss:
🔹 What special guardianship really means - because it's not as simple or obvious as you think!
🔹 The mad reality that the local authority has more say than the birth parents AND foster carers 👀 and the struggles that comes with
🔹 How Kye gets support as a Looked After Child (LAC) at school, including access to SENCO.
🔹 Plus, a special mention of our 2.5th child, Lacey’s 16th birthday and reflections on family, guardianship, and what it all really means to ALL of us in the family.

If you’ve ever wondered how the system really works for kids in care, or you’re just here for a good rant about it, join us for this one.
