This is another in a long line of confused and badly thought out marketing about foster care.
Their entire campaign frames issues all over the shop. This is one of the most egregious. https://twitter.com/johnradoux/status/1323968960979763200

This friendly waving cheerio scenario to demonstrate the #carecliff is so badly misjudged.
These two adverts in the campaign problematise the behaviour of Care Experienced people and use images that only compound their issue.
The biggest issue is this isn’t the first poorly executed foster campaign. This one shows every side of the marketing lucky bag that people pull from to talk about fostering.
From “do you have a spare room” to “fostering as a career” all the way to framing it as heroic.

If you’re going to market fostering please speak to the Care Experienced community in a meaningful way.
