Thanks @Beffy86 for shining a lived experience lens on #BigMood. My root into #kinshipcare was the ever changing landscape of #Bipolar; and I agree those living with #Bipolar can too often be misunderstood. I'm thankful my daughter has some amazing tried and tested friendships ❤️

Greetings! It's a week since returning from #Jamaica. Thank you @ChurchillFship for the truly life changing opportunity. Still receiving invites for meetings and visits! I'm sat here contemplating how best to turn the rich data collected into a levelling up #kinshipcare report 🤔
Greetings! As I make my way back to #England reflecting on my #kinshipcare seminar presentation @UWImona as part of #WSWD Many students interested in economic migration after graduation, highlighting #Jamaica's skills & knowledge leak issues and next generation aspirations focus
Greetings! Big thank you on #WSWD2024 to @BASW_UK, #JASW and #SocialWorkers who are making strides towards a just and equitable children's social care service for all
Greetings! Packing to leave @ChurchillFship #Jamaica, reflecting on @JAForJustice summit yesterday. Key stakeholders like @UNICEFJamaica, #JASW, @UWImona exploring diverting children from punitive sentencing into theraputic programmes. #crime contributes to need for #kinshipcare
Greetings! Final @ChurchillFship weekend; Friday eve JASW #Jamaica's equivalent to @BASW_UK hosted a Zoom roundtable, where I discussed the potential and pitfalls of #kinshipcare with #socialwork practitioners from across the parishes. Saturday: live radio interview - daunting!
Greetings! Firstly, as we enter final week of @ChurchillFship in #Jamaica, thanking #kinshipcarers and all others who have encouraged & supported privately & those who read updates 💖 Final invites include roundtable debate, radio interview and International #SocialWork Day event
Still smiling following meeting with Dr Claudette Crawford-Brown, who coined #BarrelChildren concept. She's spent over 30 years researching, lecturing on and developing support protocols & resources addressing psychosocial and emotional impact of #Jamaican #kinshipcare phenomena
Greetings! Thank you Dr Warren Thompson, Director at Child Protection & Family Services Agency for a candid conversation about family (including #kinshipcare) law & policy development, assessment protocols and support provisions. #Jamaica #socialwork caseload routinely over 100!
Greetings! I was pleased to be offered an impromptu meeting at the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in #Jamaica. On face value, a robust welfare benefits system is available; however, #kinshipcarers we've interviewed spoke of assessment barriers preventing access to support
#Jamaica beyond #Windrush generation: During my first week of @ChurchillFship I've had impromptu talks with #kinshipcare experienced children. Their passion for education is evident; as are the aspirations for routes out of #poverty through economic migration to the #USA and #UK
@SoulPurpose360 @CovKellie @mgordonwalker @EllieHatto To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay today we teamed up with some of #SDMNetwork who shared what the #IWD2024 theme #InspireInclusion means to them @Sharon_Kinship @Johanna_FIH @AmandaJHailes @annawardley @Jliffe @SELFA_Emma (2/2)
Greetings from #Jamaica! We had an amazing start to my @ChurchillFship thanks to Bellefield High School hosting us yesterday. Interviewing staff across teaching, inclusion & pastoral care gave great insight into the #education context of support available to #kinship children
Greetings! Thanks @JudithAMDenton and team for hosting as anticipated, another informative and inclusive conference. Great that #livedexperience was central to the thought-provoking discussions around the role of love in the care experience journey 👏🏽

@Sharon_Kinship has set a trail of interest in raising levels of care in kinship families, in Jamaica, by visiting and sharing knowledge with schools and institutions across the island.
“Many of the kinship carers and professionals I spoke with were hopeful for change.” @Sharon_Kinship blogs about her hope for Black #KinshipCare families after her recent research trip to Jamaica through @ChurchillFship. #SDMNetwork sounddelivery.org.uk/2024/04/from-e…
Welcome back Sharon! We've been thrilled to hear about your experiences and can't wait to learn from the insights you gained as you shape your kinship care report 🌟
Greetings! It's a week since returning from #Jamaica. Thank you @ChurchillFship for the truly life changing opportunity. Still receiving invites for meetings and visits! I'm sat here contemplating how best to turn the rich data collected into a levelling up #kinshipcare report 🤔
I recently discovered how I can upload life story work like photos, letters, etc on file for children to access when they’re older so you best believe I’m having a wonderful day uploading photos & making sure memories are captured for them 🥰
@Sharon_Kinship @ChurchillFship @BASW_UK Great update Sharon. Great to see you sharing your experience and expertise and learning from the people you are meeting. What an incredible trip
Just me standing here on the sideline cheering you on as you do such necessary work, and do it well. In awe of you ma’am!
Greetings! Firstly, as we enter final week of @ChurchillFship in #Jamaica, thanking #kinshipcarers and all others who have encouraged & supported privately & those who read updates 💖 Final invites include roundtable debate, radio interview and International #SocialWork Day event
A massive thanks to Lynn from #EnterpriseCreditUnion for the amazing donation of £876.80p. These donations are so important to us and we appreciate it so much.
@Sharon_Kinship Enjoy every moment of your final week in Jamaica.
@Sharon_Kinship So great seeing you & @Johanna_FIH today. Thrilled you are both together for @ChurchillFship my late aunt who was also a Churchill Fellow would have loved to have heard about your research. X
Today is #YoungCarersActionDay Some kinship carers are young people raising their younger siblings. And some young people in kinship care are helping their grandparents or older relatives with their care needs. We're proud to sign the Young Carers Covenant from @CarersTrust

This is our wonderful group members Mandy and Mark, meeting with @Munira.wilson last week at the housing of parliament, Munira has been incredibly supportive of our group, as well as raising awareness for Kinship carers across the country.
