This week, Sarah and Louise take on one of foster care's biggest elephants in the room: "Them and Us".

For years, carers have spoken about a growing divide between those providing care and those controlling the system. Yet whenever the subject is raised, many insist the divide doesn't exist.

So who's right?

Drawing on frontline experience, sector news, survey data and some uncomfortable questions, Sarah and Louise explore how power, accountability, allegations, leadership culture and government policy have combined to create a system where many carers feel increasingly excluded from decisions that affect both them and the children they care for.

Because perhaps the real question isn't whether a "Them and Us" culture exists.

It's why so many people are still pretending it doesn't.
