Great to see this. It's always good to read accounts of growing up in care which focus on the experiences and views of those who actually grew up in care.

Why are so many of my conversations just now about the importance of learning from our past? Today it was @Birthlink100 and this reminded me of all the amazing resources for researchers within sw agencies and also in our swds at universities - e.g. go to sw100.ed.ac.uk/research
