Today on Woman’s Hour (30.45 - 41.20) a conversation about #CAPVA with @rutternik.bsky.social and martha hampson from @actionforchildren.bsky.social. Nikki says this is very much a social problem, not a family problem. We must ensure families feel heard.

Really enjoyed writing this article with @carlenefirmin.bsky.social Kate O'brien, Rachael Owens and Donna Garvey on the systemic problems with child welfare systems, problematising mothers, no matter how 'good' they are.

There is a lack of public awareness of this issue. This increases the shame and stigma
