This week, Sarah and Louise kick off a hard-hitting series on allegations against foster carers.
We unpack why these claims aren’t just a carer problem.
They’re a system-wide crisis affecting recruitment, retention, and children’s lives.
From the shocking numbers that rarely get shared to the step-by-step failures of the allegations process, we explore the real impact on safeguarding, on carers' mental health, families, and livelihoods. This is just the first episode, and we’ll continue to dig deeper, call out bad practice, and discuss what must change if fostering is to survive.
