    • Illegal, Unsafe, Unacceptable: The State of Foster Care Today
      Jan 16 2026

      In this episode of Foster Care Uncovered, Sarah and Louise delve into the shocking new report from the Children’s Commissioner, which reveals the harsh reality many children in foster care face today. From illegal and unsafe placements to carers under extreme pressure, this report lays bare systemic failures that can no longer be ignored.

      Sarah and Louise break down the report, share frontline insights, and discuss what can and must be done to protect vulnerable children. They also explain what FosterWiki is doing to support carers and improve outcomes, and give practical steps for listeners who want to make a real difference.

      This isn’t just a conversation, it’s a call to action.

    • The Good, the Bad, and the Absurd in 2025 and What 2026 Needs
      Jan 8 2026

      Sarah and Louise take an unapologetically unfiltered look at foster care in 2025, the achievements, the bloopers, the ‘persons’ of the year, what needed to stop, what made them laugh, the moments that kept them going, and the low points that still defy explanation.

      They call out what mattered, dismantle what didn’t, and interrogate the absurdities. Looking to 2026, they ask the questions the sector keeps dodging: what must stop, who needs to step up, what should be gone, and whether this might finally be the year we stop performing care and start prioritising children.

      Sharp, reflective, and darkly funny. Foster care, without the gloss, the jargon, or the pretending.

    • All I Want for Christmas Is… Actual Support!
      Dec 17 2025

      A Foster Care Uncovered Christmas Special

      Festive hats on, rose-tinted myths off.

      In this Christmas special, we take a tongue-in-cheek but honest look at support during the festive period. Alongside plenty of foster carer humour, Louise reflects on Christmas at 16 after running away, and we explore trauma, contact, cost-of-living pressures, and the realities of Christmas for children in care.

      Plus, a cheeky look at “top tips for Christmas” written by people who’ve never fostered.

      Funny, thoughtful, and unapologetically real.
