@sainsburys over a month ago I was charged for a chop chop delivery that was cancelled. I have since called the helpline THREE times and emailed. I keep getting promised a refund but have not yet had one. It is meant to be a convenient quick service but has been the very opposite

@wmarybeard Sadly we have a children's social care system that is in crisis - more children in care than ever and too many being let down due to a lack of appropriate homes. You can find out more at @Become1992 and we'd be happy to talk further - it is a national disgrace

Great to see children’s social care an early priority for this government. Steps to tackle profiteering and improve the quality of care are long overdue. Devil will be in the details and we need ££ to address years of underinvestment. But it’s a good day and a big step forward
We are breaking down barriers to opportunity. For years, the children’s social care system has been neglected. That ends now. We are reforming it, so every child across the country has better chances in life.

Good to speak to @amolrajan on @BBCr4today this morning about the governments reforms of children’s social care and why change is long overdue.
The government wants to prevent companies that run children's homes in England from making excessive profits. Katherine Sacks-Jones, CEO of care charity Become, tells #R4Today 'things have got worse' in children's social care.

Thanks so much @SarahCorkerNews for covering this important story.
Big thanks to Jade & @KatharineSJ for sharing their experience & expertise with @itvnews Jade was placed 250 miles away from everything & everyone she knew in a children’s home in Blackpool because of chronic shortage of accommodation. It’s a worrying trend that’s getting worse.
