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
Leaving Care: Becoming Independent Overnight
In this episode we explore the realities of leaving care and the challenges of becoming independent overnight. Our hosts Luke Rodgers, Karylle Phillips, lived experience leaders, and Dave Linton, founder of Madlug, come together to share their insights on this important topic.
We delve into the struggles faced by young people transitioning out of care and into adulthood. We discuss the shortcomings of the current system and the need for a more holistic approach to support these individuals. While budgeting is essential, the speakers argue that young people need more significant adults in their lives to provide a network of support.
Our hosts also highlight the importance of community and how leaving care can be a traumatic experience. They share their own experiences of feeling trapped and the need for a more compassionate approach to caring for young people who have experienced trauma.
If you are someone who has left care or you work with young people who are leaving care, this podcast is for you. Join us as we explore the reality of leaving care and the support needed to help these individuals transition into successful, independent adults.
