Campaign leads to new pledge for children in care

Campaign leads to new pledge for children in careHundreds of children in care who are moved outside their local communities are set to benefit from improved support from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority following a campaign by The Children’s Society.

After launching its Handle with Care campaign last year, The Children’s Society made recommendations to councils aimed at ensuring these young people received the best possible support – and following constructive talks a package of measures has been agreed.

Of around 5,200 young people in care in Greater Manchester as of March 31, 2015, 2,060 – nearly four in ten – were in a placement outside the boundaries of their local council. These include placements with foster carers, in children’s homes, with family or friends, or for adoption. Around one-fifth of those placed outside their local council area had been moved to placements more than 20 miles away.

The Children’s Society’s research into this issue, including focus groups with young people who had been placed outside their local council area, highlighted that moves could be difficult.

Young people explained how they had been asked to move at very short notice, or felt isolated from family and friends, while others found it difficult to settle in their new community or school and said they did not have as much contact with support staff following their move.

The campaign urged that young people should only be moved out of their local community where absolutely necessary, or in the best interests of the young person, for example where they would otherwise be at risk of abuse or neglect, where there is a suitable placement available with a relative or friend, or where there is an appropriate opportunity for adoption.

The charity’s recommendations aimed to address some of the concerns raised and focused upon ensuring young people received as much support as possible ahead of, during, and following a move out of their local council area.

Over the summer, staff from The Children’s Society and campaigners gathered more than 2,300 signatures for a petition in support of the proposals, including during a day of action across Greater Manchester.

Please keep our Forest and wild horse habitat safe this 4th of July. Last year we had to tattle-tale on several people who did not think it pertained to them. That's not to be petty, but to keep the horses safe and prevent Forest fires. Please share. Thank you everyone! SRWHMG.Fireworks and Public Lands Don’t Mix! Help keep our public lands safe and leave fireworks at home. Remember: possessing, discharging, or using any kind of fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices on Federal lands is illegal at any time of the year. ... See MoreSee Less

We finally found Bubbles' (Champagne's) band! Unfortunately they are on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian reservation (SRPMIC), and we do not have an agreement with them, so we cannot go dart Bubbles, who is over a year old now, it will be a real risk to her young life to get pregnant too early. 😢. The boundary between the reservation and the Forest is solidly fenced, but there is a small spot at the river where they can still come back. Let's hope they come back soon!

👏 Smallest orphan Salt River wild horse celebrates his 4th Birthday! Can you believe he made it? Just to see him happy ever after, was worth every effort, every penny, and every sleepless night. Happy Birthday Gideon! 🎂For his Birthday, Gideon would love a new giant ball and some flyspray and maybe some horse cookies? This is our Amazon wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25GGV6RKS04SM💕And this is where you can become Gideon's sponsor for his monthly care and feed. Even when they are bigger and maybe not as cute, they still eat a lot and always need their daily and monthly care! saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor-gideon/👉It is thanks to our amazing supporters, our amazing volunteers, and our amazing partnership with AZDA and FS that happily- ever-after, is the norm for the Salt River wild horses, be it in the wild or at our rescue. This is Gideon's story:Gideon was found abandoned under a 🌴tree in July’s 💥scorching 115 temperatures as a premature brand-new newborn, by a family that was 🧺picnicking at the recreation area, and there were no other horses around. When SRWHMG volunteers arrived, he was weak and immobile, extremely dehydrated and overheated, and he never received his important first mothersmilk, colostrum.He weighed only 33 pounds, which is half of the size of a normal newborn wild foal.It was a mad rush to the Equine hospital where he immediately received an IV with plasma and 💦hydration, which was in the nick of time to save his life. The caller and the fast response from our field team saved Gideon's life, as another half hour would have for sure been fatal. Fragile newborns like him cannot regulate their own temparature very well and it was too hot for Gideon to be outside at the rescue facility, and because he needed feeding every hour around the clock, he spent his first month in Simone's livingroom, with an army of volunteers coming and going. Later he was to be joined by his buddy Snow, who was also very fortunate. Here is a cute flashback. www.facebook.com/saltrive.../videos/1788436387905778Its hard to believe that that was 4 years ago.Just two short weeks after Gideon’s rescue we would be rescuing Snow (we will feature Snow’s story next) and the little boys grew up together, did everything together, and are still together and best friends today! saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor.../Thank you everyone!
