When things go really wrong. Today, Rachel, Lucy and Sarah discuss a case where the local authority took parents to court for interfering ‘in a combative way’ in relation to the care package for their child. Tough content as we try to hold onto the fact that every person involved with our families -commissioners, young people, parents, practitioners- is human. Oh, and an update on Mousegate. Trigger warning: animals were harmed during the recording of this episode. Do email us at TSWUpodcast...

When things go really wrong.

Today, Rachel, Lucy and Sarah discuss a case where the local authority took parents to court for interfering ‘in a combative way’ in relation to the care package for their child.

Tough content as we try to hold onto the fact that every person involved with our families -commissioners, young people, parents, practitioners- is human.

Oh, and an update on Mousegate.

Trigger warning: animals were harmed during the recording of this episode.
