Interesting article about mother blaming culture and how practice is changing - this aligns beautifully with Family Safeguarding values and working with perpetrators to create change keeping more children safely at home with their families ❤️ communitycare.co.uk/2023/11/…

At 13 I went into care. At 16 I was kicked out of care & went back to an unstable situation. At 18 I studied law at uni. At 25 I was called to the Bar. At 26 I secured Pupillage. In interviews, I took pride in who I am & where I come from. It’s what formed the advocate within me.
