'It’s time to give Glasgow’s foster carers a seat at the table and give them what they really need to support the children in their care' jonmolyneuxSGP ✍️
FOSTER Carers’ Fortnight, which runs until May 28, is a time when we rightly celebrate the incredible contribution of foster carers in providing loving family homes for some of our city’s most vulnerable children.
All parties heard loud and clear the scale of the crisis facing foster carers at a recent summit hosted in the City Chambers. Only the Greens put a proposal on the table to give those carers a meaningful voice, allowing them to organise via a trade union – not as workers under UK employment law – but respecting their European convention rights under article 11 to organise collectively and be heard.
Carers organising to ensure they can provide for their families is entirely consistent with being loving parents. They are not seeking to enrich themselves. This is only about being able to provide for the children in their care, and to be part of decisions that affect their welfare.
