Talks about the CA 1980 and the "welfare principle" and how practise falls behind intention.
"The problem is that decision making still lies with the professional and doesn't include the child/young person".
In 1982 I wrote a Report, which I also presented to the House of Commons Parliamentary Committee on 'children in care'. The evidence was highly commended & included in the Children's Act 1989. The excerpts below are #cep history & legacy. And our contribution to the CA 1989.

Talks about the CA 1980 and the "welfare principle" and how practise falls behind intention.
"The problem is that decision making still lies with the professional and doesn't include the child/young person".
The National Association of Young People In Care was the first organisation run for and by YP in or ex care. We started in 1979 in Bradford and London (I was in the London Office). These policies were based on NAYPIC members views at the time.
"Young People should have a say in how the home is run and what form of rues & punishment are alowed"
"Young People should learn their responsibilities and self control by having a greater involvement in the running of their own home and in their own lives. Residential Care workers are indespensible in this".
"Everybody, despite their race, sex or outside appearance, should be treated equally".
"Local Authorities should not put young people with Foster Parents, siimply because it is cheaper than keeping them in a residential home."
Fostering was replacing children's homes at the time and many enthusiastic LA's closed them all down.
"Social Services have the responsibility, regardless of age or status, of maintaing the young person through further education".
These are the very first Officially documented views raised by the care experienced from within the membership about racism, sexism & disabled issues within fostering/children's homes settings. We raised these as serious issues before any one else.
A decade before the world beacme aware that paedophile rings ran children's & foster homes the NAYPIC membership were speaking up about it. It was not easy to do so. The scale of the problem was far greater than we could imagine (and included boys as victims).
This was before we understood not to use that word. The NAYPIC members were acutely aware of the appalling lack of rights for people with health conditions or impairments in care. As well as non visual impairments.
The one area that the Children's Act 1989 let us down in. A formal complaints system in 1989 would have ensured that many young people saw justice and their Abusers charged and prosecuted in the 1990s and beyond. A Complaints system is a vital safeguard.
NAYPIC had many ex care people supporting, advocating for others. We were the first to run ex care groups (Care Leavers) and to support the needs for people after care. This, at a time when NO post care support was available.
I think one major POSITIVE change since those days is that today we can include every person - regardless of age - as a Care Leaver. The people who have the least data on them and in my view need special poicies & support would be the aged Care Leaver.
"As a group NAYPIC is greatly concened about the awful things that happen to young people once they are out of care".
"Any Child Care policies which are made must involve those who are affected by them".
The genesis for the growth of NAYPIC were a series of meetings held in the 1970s called WHO CARES. It was run by the @ncbtweets. This charter for the care experienced goes back to 1975 and was updated by us in 1981 - it is like our Magna Carta.
NAYPIC proved highly influential within social work practise, in academia, LA adminstration & Government. Professonials looked to gauge our views as the bechmark for good practise and transformation. @BASW_UK agreed with our policies & Report conclusions.

This is THEFT!
Indians had Algebra BEFORE Mμslim prophet & religion was even born.
Here is Bakhshali Manuscript dating back to 3rd century CE. It is an Algebraic treatise. Have you anything like this from the Arabian desert? No, you simply plagiarized Algebra from Indians! https://t.co/cWXRNYMgDt
The Bakhshali manuscript, which has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra.
The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic
geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations.
Bakhshali isn't earliest Indian Algebraic treatise. Early Algebra is found in Shulba Sutras dating back to at least 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Aryabhata & Bhaskara.
What makes Bakhshali special is it offers mathematical proof to its theories
It is surprising to see that even after the ancient Indian algebraic treatise has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE by Oxford, they persist with "oh we invented Algebra. It is Halal".
A brief examination of the origins of "Halal Algebra" follows

The earliest work of "Arabic Algebra" is the "Al-Kitāb Al-Jabr wal-muqābala" by Al Khwarizmi. The term "Algebra" comes from this book ("Al Jabr").
Before writing his treatise, Al Khwarizmi visited India. His book is a plagiarism from Indian Mathematics and an obvious one at that

**Thread on Bravery of Sikhs**
(I am forced to do this due to continuous hounding of Sikh Extremists since yesterday)
Rani Jindan Kaur, wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh had illegitimate relations with Lal Singh (PM of Ranjit Singh). Along with Lal Singh, she attacked Jammu, burnt - https://t.co/EfjAq59AyI
Hindu villages of Jasrota, caused rebellion in Jammu, attacked Kishtwar.
Ancestors of Raja Ranjit Singh, The Sansi Tribe used to give daughters as concubines to Jahangir.
The Ludhiana Political Agency (Later NW Fronties Prov) was formed by less than 4000 British soldiers who advanced from Delhi and reached Ludhiana, receiving submissions of all sikh chiefs along the way. The submission of the troops of Raja of Lahore (Ranjit Singh) at Ambala.
Dabistan a contemporary book on Sikh History tells us that Guru Hargobind broke Naina devi Idol Same source describes Guru Hargobind serving a eunuch
YarKhan. (ref was proudly shared by a sikh on twitter)
Gobind Singh followed Bahadur Shah to Deccan to fight for him.
In Zafarnama, Guru Gobind Singh states that the reason he was in conflict with the Hill Rajas was that while they were worshiping idols, while he was an idol-breaker.
And idiot Hindus place him along Maharana, Prithviraj and Shivaji as saviours of Dharma.

What's your grade of this song?
https://t.co/3U3Ol6Lo6u
Lyrics:
When we lift the covers from our feelings
We expose our insecure spots
Trust is just as rare as devotion —
Forgive us our cynical thoughts
If we need too much attention —
Not content with being cool
We must throw ourselves wide open
And start acting like a fool
If we need too much approval
Then the cuts can seem too cruel
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts
It’s true that love can change us
But never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender
Sometimes we’re too tough
If we get too much attention
It gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns
To scorn and ridicule
Sometimes our big splashes
Are just ripples in the pool
