The Care Leaders's Podcast
Tired of the same old talk about children's social care? Us too. That's why we created "Conversations That Care."
Hosted by lived experience leader Luke Rodgers BEM and professional powerhouse Karylle Phillips, this isn't your average podcast. We're ditching the buzzwords and diving into the REAL issues facing children in care, care leavers and those with a social worker today.
Think: corporate parenting gone wild, the messy truth about "placements," and why leaving care often feels like a disaster. We're not afraid to ask the tough questions and challenge the status quo.
Join us monthly as we unpack your burning questions, share hard-won wisdom, and explore what it truly means to lead with care.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, The Care Leaders podcast offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you enhance your practice and make a real difference in the lives of children and young people.

The Care Leaders's Podcast
Protected Characteristics: A Balanced View
If you’ve read any of Luke's blogs, you will know that he is unsure about making care experience a protected characteristic.
This view is shared by many, and people have asked him to share his perspective since the campaign began because they are unsure too. The main reasons for concern include the lack of evidence to suggest this will have an impact, insufficient consultation with care-experienced people about making it a protected characteristic (that equates to the volume of people this will impact), and uncertainty about the next steps once it’s established as a protected characteristic.
Karylle and Luke got together to discuss this topic openly and honestly on our podcast, and we hope more people will come forward and share their concerns publicly too.
