Great to visit @suffolkcc today in Ipswich in particular to meet the Suffolk Virtual School team and some of the headteachers of schools they support. The work they do supporting and challenging schools to improve the educational outcomes of children in care is very impressive.

Got a story to share about being in care?
If you share it with Coram, and you have the chance to be featured in their anthology... What a fantastic opportunity!

Schools please remember to be sensitive with Mother's Day activities. Not everyone experiences this day as a happy occasion. Care-experienced children and children who have experienced loss can find it all very distressing, and struggle with some powerful emotions.
