Abstract

I am not based in Scotland, I am based in England, and I am not currently practising as a social worker. So, you might reasonably ask why I am writing for a journal focused on residential child care. The answer lies in my journey through care practice, higher education, disability, and systems, and how one book shaped how I see them all.
