Challenged on live TV on Why Care Experienced should be a Protected Characteristic? 3 examples in this 🧵but @ShowUsYouCare2 is committed to look at every area and publish a report. Please give us examples here showusyoucaretoo.co.uk/report/ @MichelleDewbs @GBNEWS #ShowUsYouCareToo

Equality impact assessments and the Information Commissioners office – care records being redacted. Our #CEP don't have time for society to eradicate discrimination before we make practical changes. @ShowUsYouCare2 Public please tell us here showusyoucaretoo.co.uk/report/

Parental guarantors for care leavers. @Shelter have already demonstrated indirect sex discrimination in the private rental sector against woman. The same principals would apply to #CEP in so many areas across society. @ShowUsYouCare2 tell us here showusyoucaretoo.co.uk/report/

We know lots of universities are doing good things, but it’s a postcode lottery causing downward social mobilisation for our care leavers which must stop. Here is another example of indirect discrimination - University term time halls of residence. @ShowUsYouCare2

Good challenge, should not be needed, but we need to do something. We have been waiting decades for change, all the time people in our community are 70% more likely to die early. “The Best is the Enemy of Good” We need to do something. @ShowUsYouCare2
