Episode notes
This week, Sarah and Louise continue the conversation on foster carers' mental health, and go even deeper into what’s really happening behind the scenes. In Part 2, they explore the systemic pressures driving stress, anxiety, and silence across the sector, from fear of allegations to the reality of job insecurity and constant scrutiny.
With powerful, honest contributions from foster carers, this episode shines a light on the hidden toll of fostering and why the system itself can no longer be ignored.
